Insert: PART 5 - CERTIFICATIONS Bidders must provide the required certifications to be awarded a contract. Canada will declare a bid non-responsive if the required certifications are not completed and submitted as requested. Compliance with the certifications bidders provide to Canada is subject to verification by Canada during the bid evaluation period (before award of a contract) and after award of a contract. The Contracting Authority will have the right to ask for additional information to verify bidders' compliance with the certifications before award of a contract. The bid will be declared non-responsive if any certification made by the Bidder is untrue, whether made knowingly or unknowingly. Failure to comply with the certifications or to comply with the request of the Contracting Authority for additional information will also render the bid non-responsive.

1. Code of Conduct Certifications - Consent to a Criminal Record Verification

1.1 Bidders must submit with their bid, by the bid solicitation closing date:

(a) a complete list of names of all individuals who are currently directors of the Bidder;

2. Certifications Precedent to Contract Award The certifications listed below should be completed and submitted with the bid, but may be submitted afterwards. If any of these required certifications is not completed and submitted as requested, the Contracting Authority will so inform the Bidder and provide the Bidder with a time frame within which to meet the requirement. Failure to comply with the request of the Contracting Authority and meet the requirement within that time period will render the bid non-responsive.

Suppliers may be declared ineligible contractors either as a result of a finding of non-compliance by HRSDC, or following their voluntary withdrawal from the FCP for a reason other than the reduction of their workforce to less than 100 employees. Any bids from ineligible contractors, including a bid from a joint venture that has a member who is an ineligible contractor, will be declared non-responsive. The Bidder, or, if the Bidder is a joint venture the member of the joint venture, certifies its status with the FCP, as follows: The Bidder or the member of the joint venture

(a) ( ) is not subject to the FCP, having a workforce of less than 100 full-time or part-time permanent employees, or temporary employees having worked 12 weeks or more in Canada;
