Solicitation number INS2024-25-23

Publication date

Closing date and time 2027/02/15 16:00 EST


    Description
    Invest Nova Scotia is initiating this continuous onboarding period for additional respondents of the initial RSO, which was issued on May 6, 2024 (INS2024-25-03). The same terms and conditions, qualifications, requirements and evaluation processes set out in the initial RSO document will apply to any additional respondents. In the initial RSO, evaluation and selection of respondents did not occur until after the Submission Deadline. In this onboarding RSO, evaluation and selection of respondents will occur continuously from the Issue Date of the RSO Onboarding Period until the onboarding process ends on February 15, 2027. Regardless of the date a selected respondent is added to the Standing Offer, the term for issuance of subsequent SOWs to successful respondents will expire on July 31, 2027. Respondents already added to the Standing Offer under the initial RSO need not reapply to this continuous onboarding process. The intent of the Standing Offer is to provide Invest Nova Scotia with an effective means to procure the required skills or goods from the marketplace to address short-term support needs in selected service functions as detailed in section B. 1.1 of the RSO document. Acceptance to the Standing Offer provides eligibility to receive invitations to respond to potential future statements of work from Invest Nova Scotia, but does not guarantee a minimum volume of work.
