Introduction

This is a Request for a Standing Offer Agreement (SOA). The National Gallery of Canada (NGC) requires a qualified Contractor, with minimum 3 years’ experience in commercial painting, to provide painting services, on an “as and when” required basis to NGC for its various exhibition galleries.

It is important that the successful Contractor understands that a very high degree of quality workmanship and organization skills will be expected from him/her. The selected Contractor must be available and willing to perform work on an “as and when” required basis, as outlined in the Scope of Work (Section C). Call-ups have a very short lead time and turnaround time on many of the jobs. A response time of 24 hours (1 working day) is a MANDATORY requirement. There can also be multiple call-ups for various gallery spaces at one time.
