    REQUIREMENT
    
    The Professional Audit and Support Services Supply Arrangement (PASS SA) is a federal government-wide mandatory procurement tool for the provision of professional services required to meet obligations set by two Treasury Board policies: the Internal Audit Policy and the Internal Control Policy.  This solicitation is a Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) to renew the PASS SA procurement instruments which have been put in place to satisfy Canada's various requirements for audit and related professional services across Canada, excluding any locations in areas subject to any of the Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements.  It allows
    new and existing Suppliers to submit an arrangement to qualify for those Streams for which they wish to have an SA.
    
    This procurement vehicle includes the eight following existing
    Streams of professional services:
    
    Stream 1: Internal Audit;
    Stream 2: Internal Audit Quality Assessments;
    Stream 3: Information Technology and Systems Audit;
    Stream 4: Forensic Audit;
    Stream 5: External Audit;
    Stream 6: Financial and Accounting Services;
    Stream 7: Internal Control Training; and
    Stream 8: Recipient/Contribution Agreement Audit
    
    SAs resulting from this RFSA will not be used for staffing or for Temporary Help Services (THS) requirements.
    
    The resulting SAs will remain valid until such time as Canada chooses to re-compete the SA, no longer deems the SAs necessary, or proceeds with a different procurement vehicle.
    
    This re-competition (a "renewal solicitation") requires all suppliers, including those who may have received SAs under the previous solicitation, to submit an arrangement in response to the renewal solicitation in order to continue to provide services under its resulting Supply Arrangements.
    
    SECURITY REQUIREMENT:
    
    There is a security requirement associated with the requirement of the SA. For additional information, see Part 4 - Evaluation Procedures and Basis of Selection, Part 6A - Supply Arrangement.
    
    SET-ASIDE PROGRAM FOR ABORIGINAL BUSINESS:
    
    Part of this procurement may be designated by one or more Identified Users as set-aside under the federal government's Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB). 
    
    In order to be considered as an Aboriginal Business under the PSAB, the Supplier must complete the Aboriginal Business certification contained in the Data Collection Component of the CPSS.
    
    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 SA.
    
    
    CENTRALIZED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SYSTEM (CPSS)
    
    All suppliers that want to submit an arrangement will have to establish an account in the Supplier Module of the PWGSC Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) e-Portal.  Instructions on accessing the Supplier Module e-Portal application are specified in the RFSA document published on GETS. 
    
    Suppliers will be required to submit a portion of their arrangement through the CPSS e-Portal Supplier Module.
    
    Should suppliers encounter technical difficulties with the Data Collection Component (for example, not able to access, save, or
    enter data as noted), please review Attachment B of the RFSA (Guide to Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) Data Collection Component) or send an email to the CPSS inbox at
    SSPC.CPSS@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.
