RFI and Industry Day Summary Report and Q&A

Boyer, Tania
Telephone No. - (613) 858-9232 

A Request for Information (RFI) was published February 5, 2021, to solicit comments from external providers/suppliers on how to best acquire Interpretation Services in Official Languages by obtaining ideas on the proposed procurement as well as understanding the impacts that this procurement may have on industry.  Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), in collaboration with the Translation Bureau, also held an Information Industry Day on February 17, 2021, to provide the industry with an overview of the main changes to the proposed Request for Proposal (RFP) and to answer any questions participants may have. The RFI closed on February 19, 2021, and PSPC received 35 written responses.

The attached report is intended to highlight the key themes raised by the respondents as well as to provide answers to the questions received from the Industry. PSPC intends to utilize the information provided in the responses to the RFI to guide its procurement strategy. The report should not be construed as representing decisions made by Canada or a preferred course of action that may result. The report is made available to help ensure the transparency of the procurement process and to make the findings available to interested parties.

PSPC would like to acknowledge and thank the providers/suppliers that participated in the RFI for Interpretation Services in Official Languages. The knowledge, insights and perspectives shared have assisted in understanding the issues and opportunities involved in the acquisition of Interpretation Services in Official Languages. The information collected will also assist the Crown in obtaining best value in a fair, open and competitive manner. 


Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
