    Description
    Trade Agreement: CFTA / CPTPP
    Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid
    Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall  Proposal
    Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
    Nature of Requirements: 
    
    Notice of Proposed Procurement (NPP): Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) for Temporary Help Services (THS) for Government of Canada Identified Users in the National Capital Region (NCR).
    
    This solicitation and resulting Supply Arrangement replaces the existing THS Supply Arrangements and Standing Offers in the NCR. Therefore, all interested suppliers are required to submit a response to this solicitation in order to continue to provide Temporary Help Services in the NCR. Changes affecting the THS Method of Supply are being implemented through this solicitation. Suppliers are reminded of the importance of reading this document in its entirety, as well as all documents incorporated by reference.
    
    
    Two pilot projects are being introduced in this method of supply. 
    1) The first pilot project is to promote greater opportunities for self-identified indigenous suppliers (including PSAB registered businesses) and to increase the diversity of suppliers from other underrepresented groups (such as women, people with disabilities and visible minorities), in federal government procurement. 
    2) The second project introduces the Right-Fit Basis of Selection. Under specific circumstances, users have the option of choosing the lowest priced bid or the one representing the best value within a certain price band. Refer to PART 6B, Article 6.2 for details. 
    
    These pilot projects will be monitored closely for a year to establish a permanent framework.
    
    By submitting an arrangement, suppliers are acknowledging that they agree to the process as well as the terms and conditions as described in this solicitation.
    
    The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) only; it is excluded from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and is not covered under the World Trade Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) or the Canada-European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
    
    PERMANENT NOTICE:
    
    This is the permanent notice for the duration of the THS method of supply in the NCR.  As long as this permanent notice remains posted on Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders, THS Supply Arrangements will be issued to all suppliers that meet the qualification requirements of this RFSA.
    
    Canada may receive arrangements perpetually, but reserves the right to conduct the evaluation of arrangements in cycles, not less than quarterly. 
    
    Quarterly Evaluation Periods:
    
    Q1 July 1 to September 30
    Q2 October 1 to December 31
    Q3 January 1 to March 31
    Q4 April 1 to June 30 
    
    Once a Supply Arrangement has been awarded, a THS supplier may qualify for additional classifications or streams quarterly.
    
    
    BACKGROUND:
     
    The THS method of supply has a total of 14 streams. A full description of the streams and their categories can be found on the Temporary Help Services website at:
    http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/sat-ths/index-eng.html
    
    No limit is set on the number of Supply Arrangements to be issued.
    
    SECURITY REQUIREMENT:
    
    There is a security requirement associated with this requirement.  For additional information, refer to the RFSA document below, Part 4, section 4.2.2 Other Mandatory Requirements.
    
    PROCUREMENT STRATEGY FOR ABORIGINAL BUSINESS (may be applicable to a portion of the RFSA):
    
    A portion of this procurement may be set aside under the federal government's Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB). In order to be considered, firms must certify that they qualify as an Aboriginal business as defined in the PSAB and comply with all requirements of the PSAB.
    
    Where a Supplier wishes its arrangement to be considered for set aside for Aboriginal business under the federal governments Set-Aside Program for Aboriginal Business, Suppliers must complete and sign the certification in Part 5 - Certifications of the RFSA.
    
    LOCATION OF SERVICES:
    
    Supply Arrangements will be awarded to Qualified Suppliers in the National Capital Region (NCR).  The NCR boundary for PWGSC is recognized as the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton boundary in the province of Ontario and the Outaouais Regional Community in the province of Quebec.
    
    OFFICIAL LANGUAGES:
    
    The services to be provided will be delivered in one or both of the two official languages of Canada according to the requirements of the Identified User issuing a contract against the Supply Arrangement.
