Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business.

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf
of authorized departments and agencies of the Government of
Canada, has a requirement to establish multiple National Master
Supply Arrangements (NMSAs) for the provision of Managed Print
Services (MPS). The scope of the MPS Supply Arrangement will
include consulting and implementation services to assist clients
with print optimization and with applying a fleet management
approach to their office equipment, anywhere in Canada other
than Comprehensive Land Claims Areas (CLCA). For requirements
with delivery points in CLCA areas, other sourcing methods will
be used.

The Supply Arrangement will be for a period of one year plus two
one-year option periods.

There is a security requirement associated with this
requirement. For additional information, consult Part 4 -
Evaluation Procedures and Basis of Selection, and Part 6A -
Supply Arrangement.

Pursuant to section 01 of Standard Instructions 2008, Suppliers
must submit a complete list of names of all individuals who are
currently directors of the Supplier.  Furthermore, as determined

Oversight Branch, each individual named on the list may be
requested to complete a Consent to a Criminal Record
Verification form.

The requirement covered by the bid solicitation of any resulting
supply arrangement may be subject to a preference for Canadian
goods and/or services or may be limited to Canadian goods and/or
services.

This procurement is set aside from the international trade
agreements under the provision each has for set-asides for small
and minority businesses.
