RFSQ OPOR IT RESOURCES ONBOARDING

The Province is initiating this continuous onboarding process for additional respondents of the initial RFSQ- DOC1543189378 - One Person One Record, IT Resources, issued on October 5th, 2023. The same master agreement terms and conditions, qualifications, requirements and evaluation processes set out in the initial RFSQ document will apply to any additional respondents. In the initial RFSQ, evaluation and selection of respondents did not occur until after the Submission Deadline. In this onboarding RFSQ, evaluation and selection of respondents will occur continuously from the Issue Date of RFSQ -Onboarding until the onboarding process ends. The onboarding process is expected to continue until the end of the initial term of the master agreement. Should the master agreement be extended per section 1.4, onboarding is expected to cease six (6) months prior to expiration of the full master agreement term. Regardless of the date a selected respondent is added to the supply arrangement list, all master agreements will expire on the same date without exception. Nova Scotia Health will be participating in the procurement process pursuant to section 3.8 of the RFSQ. Respondents who are successful during the continuous onboarding process will be invited to sign agreements with both the Province and Nova Scotia Health. Suppliers who have already entered into a Master Agreement with the Province will be contacted during the next few months with invitations to sign an agreement with Nova Scotia Health for the provision of services set out in the RFSQ. Master Agreement Holders under the initial RFSQ need not reapply to this continuous onboarding process.
