General information:
A Supply Arrangement (SA) is a method of supply used 
by Public Works and Government Services Canada 
(PWGSC) to procure goods and services. 

A SA is an arrangement between Canada and pre-
qualified suppliers that allows identified users to solicit 
bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific 
requirements within the scope of a SA. A SA is not a 
contract for the provision of the goods and services 
described in it and neither party is legally bound as a 
result of signing a SA alone. The intent of a SA is to 
establish a framework to permit expeditious processing 
of "individual bid solicitations" which result in legally 
binding contracts for the goods and services described 
in those bid solicitations.


On-going Opportunity for Qualification:
This notice is being issued as the perpetual Notice to 
the Supply Arrangement (SA) (EE517-150138) to inspect 
on an as-and-when-requested basis, marine structures 
throughout the Quebec Region. The objective is to 
invite additional suppliers to submit arrangements to 
become pre-qualified Suppliers under Terms and 
Conditions of Request For Supply Arrangement (RFSA) 
EE517-150138/B.

Pre-qualified suppliers for which a SA has already been 
issued under EE517-150138/A, and which is still valid, 
will not have to submit a new arrangement.

If a supplier would like to qualify for a Supply 
Arrangement under this RFSA, it must obtain the RFSA 
documents Number EE517-150138/B.


Evaluation Procedures:
Arrangements will be assessed in accordance with the 
entire requirement of the RFSA including the technical 
evaluation  criteria. No financial criteria are evaluated 
under this RFSA. Financial criteria will be requested 
during "individual bid solicitations" sent directly to    
pre-qualified Suppliers of EE517-150138.
