Description of the Requirement:

Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Corporate Procurement Services Unit is seeking proposals from bidders for the services of up to two (2) Procurement Specialists to assist with processing complex procurement requirements (valued over $25,000.00). The Contract will be in effect from date of award for a period of 5 months, with an option to extend by two (2) additional 3 months periods.

The duties of the resource(s) will be similar to the ones a Government of Canada Procurement Specialist would typically be subject to, without the actual accountability associated with approving and signing contractual document. The resource(s) will be responsible for leading the full-cycle procurement process for multiple commodities across the goods, services, and construction sectors using various procurement tools available to NRCan.

The resource(s) must be able to work on site at 580 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario location.

Up to two (2) contracts may be awarded under this procurement process. Bidders can submit up to two (2) resources with their bid proposal. If a bidder submits two (2) resources with their bid proposal, they will be evaluated as two separate proposals during the technical and financial evaluation process. The resources that ranks the highest and second highest ranked resource will proceed to the interview stage. If the resources (or references) are unable to verify or validate the information stated in the proposal (and CV), NRCan will proceed to the next highest ranked resource(s) as per the process specified under Part 4, article 4.3. 

The two (2) resources may be selected from two (2) separate bid proposals or from one bidder if both resources are deemed the highest ranked resources. If the resources being recommended for award are from one bidder, only one contract will be awarded under this procurement process.
