Description of the requirement: Strategic Advisory Services

The Department of Public Works has a requirement for services of
a Contractor to provide strategic advice and support for the
Acquisitions Program Transformation (APT) project. The initial
requirement is for a Stategic Context Report (draft & final).
With the Strategic Context Report, PWGSC requires PowerPoint
presentations suitable for various levels of Senior Management,
including: Assistant Deputy Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and
Ministers.  As a minimum the Strategic Context Report must
contain an Environmental Scan, Strategic Analysis and
Opportunities and Threats. Along with the report, this
requirement is for optional services, on an "as-and-when"
required basis, for expert and independent reporting, analysis,
review, opinion and advice to support decision-making by AB,
PWGSC Executive, the PWGSC Minister, Central Agencies such as
Treasury Board, and other stakeholders.

The proposed period of contract shall be from date of award to
two (2) years later.

Conflict of Interest
The Work to be performed by the Contractor under the Contract is
related to the preparation of bid solicitation documents and may
include the drafting of statements of work and evaluation
criteria, as well as conducting project assessments and
evaluations. The Acquisition Digital Project plans to prepare
and evaluate requests for proposals relating to the procurement
of commercial off the shelf software.

The Contractor agrees that, in order to avoid any conflict of
interest or appearance of conflict of interest, the Contractor,
its subcontractors and their respective employees involved in
the Work, will not be eligible to bid, either as prime
contractor or subcontractor, on any requirement resulting from
or related to the Work performed under the Contract, including,
without limitation, the APT projects listed below:
Acquisitions Program E-Procurement Solution (all solicitations
under #EN578-131350)
Other APT Projects identified by the Project Authority where the
Work performed by the Contractor may result in a conflict of
interest or appearance of conflict of interest 

Furthermore, any bid that would involve the Contractor, any of
its subcontractors and their respective employees will be
declared non-responsive. The Contractor agrees to advise its
employees and its subcontractors of this requirement.
