Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid
Competitive Procurement Strategy: 
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements: 

Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of the Department of National Defence, has a requirement for grass cutting services at various locations within Nova Scotia. 
This Request for Supply Arrangement will allow vendors to submit technical qualifications to be reviewed by Canada. Vendors demonstrating the technical capabilities and experience, will be
placed on the Supply Arrangement.

This notice is to serve as an opportunity for interested suppliers to qualify for the existing Supply Arrangement W010C-13C178 - Grass Cutting Services - DND Halifax. Firms already on the supply arrangement DO NOT need to resubmit.

Any interested supplier shall contact Alex Russell - alex.russell@pwgsc.gc.ca or facsimile (902) 496-5016 to request a copy of the solicitation document.

A supply arrangement is a non-binding arrangement between Canada and pre-qualified suppliers that allows departments to award contracts and solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified
suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of the supply arrangement. 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 services described in those bid solicitations.

The supply arrangement is not in itself a contract, but rather a base document that forms part of the future Request for Quotation (RFQ) and resulting contract. When issued a supply arrangement, the supplier accepts the obligation to provide specified services in accordance with the supply arrangement, under any resulting contract that may be awarded. Any resultingcontract will be established as a result of a RFQ. These RFQs will specify the specific requirements, and may contain additional terms and conditions that the supplier must meet.

See the bid solicitation section of the RFSA for further details on this procurement process.

The period of this supply arrangement is on-going for as long as Canada deems it advantageous to solicit bids in this manner.

Each year an opportunity for new vendors to submit technical qualifications to be added to the supply arrangement's list of pre-qualified vendors will appear on GETS. Vendors already on
the supply arrangement will not have to re-submit.
