Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting Offerors to submit proposals for Standing Offers. The selected offerors shall provide a range of services as identified in the Statement of Work section of this document.

It is PWGSC's intention to authorize up to two (2) Standing Offer for a period of three (3) years with two (2) one year options. The Contractor hereby grants to Canada two (2) irrevocable option to extend the term of the Standing Offer each for an ADDITIONAL CONSECUTIVE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD, under the same terms and conditions as contained in the Standing Offer. It is to be noted that Canada is not obliged to exercise the option. The exercise of any option will be at Canada's sole discretion, by providing notification in writing to the Contractor at least sixty (60) days prior to the Contract expiry date or the expiry date of an exercised option period. The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $500,000.00 (GST or HST included). Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $60,000.00 (GST or HST included). Offerors should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will issue call-ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed. Please refer to Section SOP04, CALL-UP PROCEDURE.

INDUSTRIAL SECURITY RELATED REQUIREMENTS

At offer closing, the Offeror must hold a valid Security Clearance as indicated in section SC01 of the Supplementary Conditions. Failure to comply with this requirement will render the offer non compliant and no further consideration will be given to the offer.

The successful Offerror's personnel, as well as any subcontractor and its personnel, who are required to perform any part of the work pursuant to the subsequent contract must meet the mandatory security requirement as indicated in section SC01 of the Supplementary Conditions. Individuals who do not have the required level of security will not be allowed on site. It is the responsibility of the successful Offerror to ensure that the security requirements are met throughout the performance of the contract. Canada will not be held liable or accountable for any delays or additional costs associated with the successful Offerror’s non-compliance with the mandatory security requirement.

For additional information on security requirements, offerors should consult the ?Security Requirements for PWGSC Offer Solicitations - Instructions for Offerors? on the Standard Procurement Documents Web site Industrial Security Program
