    Description

    **THIS IS A REPUBLICATION OF THE "PASS RFSA Refresh 2018" NOTICE PREVIOUSLY POSTED AT https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en/tender-opportunities/tender-notice/pw-z…**

    This solicitation is a Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA). Resulting Supply Arrangements (SAs) are non-binding agreements between Canada and suppliers to facilitate the procurement process and are not contracts. Future requirements solicited through a SA may result in contracts, but a contract will only exist if and when a contract is awarded.

    The Professional Audit and Support Services (PASS) SA is a federal government-wide mandatory procurement tool for the provision of professional services required to meet obligations set by two Treasury Board policies: the Policy on Internal Audit and the Policy on Financial Management. This Refresh solicitation provides the opportunity to New Suppliers to qualify for a PASS SA; it also provides Existing Suppliers the opportunity to qualify for more Streams, etc., throughout the validity period of the PASS SA. *PLEASE NOTE: Existing Suppliers are NOT REQUIRED to submit an arrangement to this solicitation in order to maintain their PASS SA as is.*

    CENTRALIZED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SYSTEM (CPSS)

    All suppliers that want to submit an arrangement will have to establish an account in the Supplier Module of the PWGSC Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) e-Portal. Instructions on accessing the Supplier Module e-Portal application are specified in the RFSA.

    Suppliers will be required to submit a portion of their arrangement through the CPSS e-Portal Supplier Module.

    Should suppliers encounter technical difficulties with the Data Collection Component (for example, not able to access, save, or enter data as noted), please review Attachment B of the RFSA (Guide to Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) Data Collection Component (DCC)) or send an email to the Centralized Professional Services ePortal mailbox which can be found at https://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/contact-eng.html.

    ***PLEASE REFER TO THE SOLICITATION DASHBOARD OF THE CPSS ePORTAL FOR THE CURRENT CLOSING DATE OF THE APPLICABLE REFRESH PERIOD***
