The Contractor will maintain a minimum stockpile of three (3) months finished stock (stored in Canada and released by BGTD) for the total annual requirement for each item awarded in the Contract at all times during the period of the Contract.

Basis of Selection:
Ranking will be established using the firm quantities for all items, plus 100% of the option quantities.

If only one responsive bid is received and the price is fair and reasonable then that Bidder will be recommended for award of a contract for 100% of the final total estimated quantity. If more than one responsive bid is received and for the purposes of strengthening the security of supply of these vaccines in Canada:

The Bidder submitting the lowest aggregate priced responsive proposal for the contract period (including option years) will be recommended for award of a contract as follows:
- 60% if the price difference is 20 % or less ; 
- 65% if the price difference is more than 20% and less than 30%;
- 70% if the price difference is 30% and less than 40%;

And the second lowest Bidder will be recommended for award for the balance of the quantities according to the price difference proposed on the Bid if the price is considered fair and reasonable.

At the sole discretion of Canada, acting as agent on behalf of the provinces and territories, consideration will be given to award 75% or 100% of the final total estimated quantity to the low bid in the event that the price difference exceeds 40%.
