Advance Contract Award Notification
Advance Contract Award Notification (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
Definition of Requirements
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement to establish a Standing Offer for the purpose of procuring spare parts for various Radar and Fire Control Systems deployed onboard the Royal Canadian Navy Patrol Frigates (Halifax Class). The Standing Offer will support the following systems:
- Sea Giraffe Family of Radars (SG-150, SG-180)
- CEROS Fire Control Directors (CEROS 200)
- 9LV Command and Fire Control System
The Standing Offer period will be three (3) years, and will included the option to extend the Standing Offer for up to two (2) additional one (1) year periods.
A standing offer (SO) is an offer from a supplier to Canada that allows Canada to purchase goods and/or services, or a combination of goods and services, as and when requested, during a specific period of time, through the use of a call-up process which incorporates the conditions and pricing of the standing offer.
A standing offer itself is not a contract. A separate contract is formed each time a call-up for the provision of goods and/or services is made against a standing offer. When a call-up is made, it constitutes an unconditional acceptance by Canada of the supplier's offer for the provision, to the extent specified, of the goods and/or services described in the standing offer.
Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that they can supply Spare Parts under a Standing Offer agreement for the above mentioned radar systems.
