Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting
architectural/interior design consultants capable of providing
functional programming and schematic concept services, to submit
proposals for Standing Offers.  The selected consultants shall
provide a range of services as identified in the Required
Services section of this document for building projects in the
National Capital Area.  

Proponents shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to
practise in the province of Quebec and Ontario.  If a Proponent
is licensed to practise in only one of the two provinces, then
that Proponent must be eligible and willing to be licensed in
the province in which they are not licensed. Firms should be
able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a
broad variety of projects over the last five (5) years.  In
general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the
basis of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of
services, their approach and methodology to providing those
services, the quality of their relevant experience in this area,
as well as the cost of the provision of the services.

It is PWGSC's intention to authorize up to five (5) Standing
Offers, each for a period of three (3) years from the date of
issuing the Standing Offers.  The total dollar value of all
Standing Offers is estimated to be $8,000,000.00 (GST or HST
included).  Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of
$1,000,000.00 (GST or HST included). Proponents should note that
there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the
Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will issue call-ups
only when the specific services to be provided under the
Standing Offer are needed.

Consulting firms that consider themselves qualified to provide
these services may order the Request for Standing Offer document
from the Government of Canada Electronic Tendering Services
through MERX.  Late submissions will not be considered.
