ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN) FOR DATABASE ACCESS

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a requirement for the provision of online database subscription services for a minimum of 2000 users, to a collection of searchable data, recent and historical, on real estate transactions and property owners in Quebec and the United States (US), registered leases and mortgages in Quebec, as well as data of companies and their shareholders in Quebec and Canada. The purpose of this ACAN is to signal the CRA's intention to award a contract for these goods and/or services to JLR Solutions Foncières. Before awarding a contract, however, the CRA would like to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in this Notice, by submitting a statement of capabilities during the ACAN posting period. If other potential suppliers submit a statement of capabilities during the ACAN posting period that fully meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the CRA will proceed to a full tendering process; either Competitive-Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) or Competitive-Non GETS, in order to award the contract. If on or before the closing date, no other supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the CRA may award a contract to the proposed supplier.
