Phase 1 of the Proposed Procurement (Submission of Interest):

To participate in this requirement, Interested Offerors must complete and sign the attached SUBMISSION OF INTEREST form and Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality of Information Agreement (NDCIA) and send them via email to the Standing Offer Authority.

A completed and signed SUBMISSION OF INTEREST form and NDCIA sent via email to the Standing Offer Authority will be the only accepted means for Interested Offerors to express interest in the requirement. Expression of interest by any other means will not be considered.

If any information is missing from the SUBMISSION OF INTEREST form, the Standing Offer Authority will inform the Interested Offerors of a timeframe within which to provide the information. If the Interested Offerors fail to provide the missing information within the timeframe, their submission of interest will not be considered.

If the NDCIA is not submitted, duly completed or signed, the Standing Offer Authority will inform the Interested Offerors of a timeframe within which to provide the duly completed and signed NDCIA. If the Interested Offerors fail to provide the duly completed and signed NDCIA within the timeframe, their submission of interest will not be considered.

Submissions of interest received after the NPP closing date will not be considered.

Canada will not be liable for any oversight on the Interested Offerors’ part nor for notification services offered by a third party.

Indigenous Procurement:

Having a business profile in the IBD will increase your company’s visibility and may provide additional business. A profile in the IBD can also allow you to compete for federal government contracts that are set-aside for Indigenous businesses through the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Businesses.
