Third Party Expert Negotiation Advice and Services

On June 3, 2010, the Government of Canada announced Canada's
National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS). Under the
strategy, for large ship construction, Canada established a
strategic long-term relationship with two Canadian shipyards.
The National Shipbuilding Procurement Secretariat and the
Department of Public Works and Government have a requirement for
contract negotiation expertise, advice and related training
services on an "As and When Requested" basis. Recognizing the
high profile nature, strategic importance, complexity and
longevity of the NSPS program, Canada is seeking the services of
a Contractor with proven expertise in complex contract
negotiations of a similar size and scope to guide and provide
expert negotiation advice to Canada in order to facilitate the
successful execution of these complex agreements. 

There is no known Security Requirement for this requirement at
this time. However, the Contractor must treat as confidential,
during as well as after the provision services contracted for,
any information of a character confidential to the affairs of
Canada, to which the Contractor becomes privy. 
Should it become necessary, during the course of the service,
for Canada to invoke further security measures, the Contractor
will be required to meet those requirements as detailed by the
Corporate and International Industrial Security Directorate
prior to the start of Work on the Authorized Task. 

Work under some Tasks may also require a Non-Disclosure
agreement between the Contractor and third party companies prior
to the start of the Work. 

It is anticipated that the initial contract will be in place for
three years and will include the option to extend for up to two
additional one year periods. 

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade
Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Agreement
on Internal Trade (AIT). 

The total estimated value of this requirement is $500,000 to
$5,000,000.00.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
