INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to signal the government’s intention to award a standing offer for these services to The Quebec Wild Animal Health Center (University of Montreal) 2900 Edouard Montpetit Blvd, Montreal, QC H3T 1J4. Before awarding a standing offer, however, the government 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 this ACAN posting period that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the government will proceed to a full tendering process on either GETS or through traditional means, in order to award the standing offer.
If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in the ACAN, a standing offer will be awarded to the pre-selected supplier.

This project is also an opportunity to collect data safely, that may contribute to scientific studies to improve our understanding of these species.
