Description
Please ensure that if the notice falls within the bounds of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), include the following requirements in the description:
Estimated quantity of commodity: Service on demand
Duration of contract: (2023-04-01) à (2026-03-31)
Time frame of delivery: (2023-04-01) à (2026-03-31)
Any conditions for participation of suppliers not specified in solicitation documentation:
The mandate of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (the department) and the nature of its work mean that requests for document editing and publication are not only made during normal work hours. Because requests for communications products are submitted on behalf of the ministers, they are often urgent. It is therefore essential that Editorial Services be able to provide services on evenings and weekends. To offer these services, the department must have a team of editors on call on a rotating basis.
Furthermore, Editorial Services prioritizes departmental communications documents. All other documents—that is, those over 1,000 words—will be edited by on call editors under standing offer agreements.
The objective of this solicitation is to implement up to 16 standing offers with the aim of having French and English editors to provide editing services. These editors will offer on-call editing services for communications products after normal working hours and on weekends and statutory holidays; for documents over 1,000 words for the entire department; and to support and replace, as necessary, the editing team during the week during normal working hours.
Each offeror must offer at least 1 English or French editor who meets the mandatory technical evaluation criteria. The department is seeking a maximum of 9 French editors and 7 English editors. Each offeror may offer multiple editors in each language.
Only the 9 French editors and the 7 English editors who obtain the highest combined scores of technical merit and price will be retained for the issuance of standing offers.
There are security requirements associated with the requirement of the Standing Offer.
