Reference number:  PW-$$EI-003-28442

1. This notice is being published following the award of the
TBIPS Request for Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements
(RFSO/SA) re-compete  EN578-055605/G, and pursuant to the
Financial Evaluation methodology set out in the solicitation as
extracted below.

Financial Evaluation
PWGSC will conduct a financial evaluation against all
technically responsive bids by comparing the relative cost of
the per diem rates in each Region and Metropolitan Area for each
Category and Level of Expertise.

Any offer proposing a per diem rate that falls between the
"Median" minus 30% and the "Median"  plus 30% for a specific
Category and Level of Expertise within a Region and Metropolitan
Area will be considered financially responsive and recommended
for the issuance of a standing offer.

The "Median" will be calculated based on the per diem rates
submitted by all bidders for that Category, Level, Region, and
Metropolitan Area.  A "Median" is the middle offer in a set of
offers whereby half the offers are greater and half are lower.
For example, in the following set of numbers: 100, 150, 200,
400, 900, the median would be 200. In the following set of
numbers: 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 900, the median would be 250.

2. In support of the government open data initiatives; the
purpose of this notice is to publish the established TBIPS
Standing Offer median rates by region, metropolitan area,
category and level of expertise. The attachment is provided in
PDF format and can be directly downloaded from this notice.

3. The median rates are published for information purposes, and
serve to provide government, private sector, and non-government

results. For the purposes of any TBIPS transaction requiring the
issuance of a call-up against the Standing Offer Framework,
government users must use the Centralized Professional Services
System (ePortal) to obtain the applicable firm rates and must
ensure the transaction is carried out in accordance with the
TBIPS call-up procedures
