One of the pillars of this transformation, which affects all of the Bureau's business lines, is the revamping of the linguistic services procurement process. As part of this revamping, the Bureau would like to renew its supplier directory for translation services and set up supply arrangements with pre-qualified suppliers. In modernizing its directory, the Bureau wants to simplify the contracting process, improve the planning and predictability of contracting requirements, and make contracting procedures and the rules governing the operation of the directory more transparent and effective. Accordingly, the purpose of this request for information (RFI) is to publish a second draft of the Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) that modifies the proposed requirements and the Bureau's strategy for renewing its supplier directory. Interested firms are being asked to provide feedback on the proposed approach. This feedback will be considered in the development of the formal Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA), which will be used to solicit bids as part of this initiative. This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. Therefore, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, or allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list. Thus, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Furthermore, reference to goods or services in this RFI will not necessarily result in the procurement of such goods or services. This RFI is simply intended to solicit feedback from the industry with respect to its contents. Nothing in this RFI shall be construed as a commitment from Canada to issue an RFSA for this project. Canada may use non-proprietary information provided in this review in the preparation of any formal RFSA. The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement. Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement. Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
