E6HAL-160004/A


Public Services and Procurement Canada has a requirement, to establish a list of pre-qualified suppliers that will be used by the Halifax office of PSPC to permit processing of individual bid solicitations and award subsequent contracts for Technical Investigation and Engineering Services on behalf of Transport Canada Air and Marine Programs, in Eastern Canada.

Public Services and Procurement Canada reserves the right to use the vendorlist created as a result of this Supply Arrangement in support of any government department, agency or Crown Corporation listed in Schedules I, I.1, II, III, of the Financial Administration Act, R.S., 1985, c. F-11, within Eastern Canada with the exception of Department of Fisheries and Oceans / Canadian Coast Guard.
 
A supply arrangement (SA) is a non-binding arrangement between Canada and a pre-qualified supplier that allows departments and agencies to award contracts and solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of the SA.

An 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 supply arrangement alone.The intent of a supply arrangement 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.

The following eight (8) areas of expertise are required:

a) Naval Architecture
b) Marine Engineering
c) Navigation and Ship Keeping
d) Health and Safety Services
e) Management Systems Auditing
f) Environmental Services: Vessel Based
g) Marine Communication & Navigation Systems: Vessel Based
h) Marine Informatics Technology

The Supply Arrangement has no defined end-date and will remain valid until such time as Canada no longer considers it to be advantageous to use it.

This requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).

This procurement is exempt from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - exemption reference: Chapter 10, Annex 1001.2b, General Notes, Schedule of Canada - paragraph 1(a).  It is also exempt from the World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) - exemption reference: Annex 4, Note 4.
