    Description of Requirements: The Government Contact Centre Services (GCCS) – Stream 2: Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) Refresh is being issued by Shared Services Canada (SSC) to provide competitive CCaaS services to SSC clients. 

    This is a 2nd round RFSA Refresh that follows a 1st round RFSA Refresh released on May 31, 2021. Respondents will note that the Mandatory Qualification Criteria has been amended.

    Respondents are requested to attentively read the 2nd Round RFSA Refresh documents in their entirety.

    The intent is to run an open RFSA Refresh solicitation on Buy&Sell for new potential vendors to onboard as pre-qualified Suppliers under the CCaaS SA and compete against subsequent solicitations issued under the Supply Arrangement.

    This procurement activity aims to broaden the list of Suppliers to enable competition and value for SSC clients and aligns to SSC’s Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) obligations for Supply Arrangements.

    Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) Phase

    1. Canada intends to establish 1 Supply Arrangement per Qualified Respondents (QRs) for Stream 2: CCaaS.

    The scope of any subsequent procurements that may be issued under any resulting Supply Arrangements include Core Features, Extended Features, and any Contact Centre related features and services as determined by Canada.

    Subject to the provisions of this RFSA Refresh, Canada intends to issue the Supply Arrangement(s) with no fixed expiry date and to be used as long as SSC considers it useful to do so. Each resulting Contract issued pursuant to the Supply Arrangement(s) will represent a stand-alone Contract with its own term and expiry date.

    Security Requirements: This solicitation contains a requirement for vendor and personnel security screening at the following levels:

    Vendor Security Requirement: Protected A.

    Personnel Security Requirement(s): Reliability, Secret.

    Trade Agreements: The requirement is subject to the following Trade Agreements:

    6. Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement;
    7. Canada-Honduras Free Trade Agreement; and
    8. Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement.

    Procurement for Aboriginal Business: The requirement has not been identified as a set-aside to the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB).
