    This RFP is only for pre-qualified Suppliers for Stream 1: Internal Audit Services against Professional Audit Support Services (PASS) Supply Arrangement (E60ZG-060004)
    
    DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:
    
    Statistics Canada is seeking to establish up to two (2) contracts for Internal Audit Services to work with the Office of the Chief Audit Executive in preparing and carrying out the Agency’s 3 year risk-based audit plan. The services will be provided on an “as and when requested” basis only.
    	
    	Work Stream 1: Internal Audit Services; 
    	
    DURATION OF CONTRACT
    
    From Contract award to March 31, 2014 plus three (3) one-year option periods. 
    
    EVALUATION PROCESS AND SELECTION METHODOLOGY
    
    	1. 	Evaluation Procedures 
    	
    	(a) 	Bids will be assessed in accordance with the entire requirement of the bid solicitation including the technical and financial evaluation criteria.
    	
    	(b)	An evaluation team composed of representatives of Canada will evaluate the bids.
    		
    	1.1	Technical Evaluation
    	
    	1.1.1	Mandatory Technical Criteria 
    		
    	Refer to Attachment 1 to Part 4.
    	
    	1.1.2	Point Rated Technical Criteria 
    		
    	Refer to Attachment 1 to Part 4.  Point-rated technical criteria not addressed will be given a score of zero.
    	
    	1.2	Financial Evaluation
    	
    	1.2.1     For bid evaluation and contractor(s) selection purposes only, the evaluated price of a bid will be determined in accordance with the Pricing Schedule detailed in Attachment 1 to Part 3.
    	
    	2. 	Basis of Selection
    	  
    	2.1	Basis of Selection - Lowest Evaluated Price Per Point
    		
    	1.	To be declared responsive, a bid must:
    	
    		(a)	comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation; 
    	
    		(b)	meet all the mandatory evaluation criteria; and
    	
    		(c)	obtain the required minimum number of points specified in Attachment 1 to Part 4 for the point rated technical criteria.
    	
    	2.  	Bids not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) will be declared non-responsive. Neither the responsive bid obtaining the highest number of points nor the one with the lowest evaluated price will necessarily be accepted. 
    		
    	3.	The responsive bids will be ranked in descending order of the overall scores obtained for all the point rated technical criteria detailed in Attachment 1 to Part 4; the responsive bid obtaining the highest overall score being ranked first.  Any responsive bid obtaining an overall score for all these technical criteria that does not fall within 10 percent of the overall score obtained by the responsive bid ranked first will be declared non responsive and will be set aside.  The evaluation of the remaining responsive bids will continue as per paragraphs 4 and 5 of this clause. 
    	 
    	4. 	The evaluated price per point of a responsive bid will be determined by dividing its evaluated price by the overall score it obtained for all the point rated technical criteria detailed in Attachment 1 to Part 4.
    	
    	5.  	The responsive bids will be ranked in ascending order of evaluated prices per point; the responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price per point being ranked first.  Of the highest ranked responsive bids in ascending order of evaluated prices per point, up to two (2) will be recommended for award of a contract.   In the event two or more responsive bids have the same lowest evaluated price per point,  these bids will be ranked in descending order of the overall scores obtained for all the technical evaluation criteria subject to point rating detailed in Attachment 1 to Part 4;  the responsive bid obtaining the highest overall score being ranked the highest.
    	
    	Highest Ranked Bidder:  60% of aggregate contract value
    	Second Ranked Bidder:  40% of aggregate contract value
    	
    	If only one (1) supplier is found to be compliant: 
    	
    	Highest Ranked Bidder:  100% of aggregate contract value.
