Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
Public Works and Government Services Canada is seeking suppliers for electric buses through an ongoing Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA), reference E60HP-21EBUS/A. The opportunity covers three groups: (1) electric shuttle buses, (2) electric school buses, and (3) electric commuter coach buses. Suppliers may submit for one, two, or all three groups. This is not a direct purchase contract. Suppliers that meet Canada’s technical requirements may be placed on a pre-qualified supply arrangement. Only suppliers awarded an arrangement can later bid on individual bus procurements issued under it. The arrangement has no stated end date, and new suppliers may apply while it remains active. Deliveries may be required across Canada, including the listed provinces and territories, with some exceptions for the National Capital Region. The notice indicates that bids may be submitted in either English or French and encourages electronic submission through epost Connect. The tender record lists a closing date of April 16, 2046 at 3:00 p.m. Because this date is unusually distant, the current status, applicable closing date, specifications, amendment 007, submission instructions, and qualification requirements should be confirmed in the official tender documents before taking action. The listed contacts are Jacques Legault or Donna Serra at PWGSC, telephone 819-360-2140 or 613-297-2635. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian manufacturers, distributors, or other suppliers able to meet the detailed technical specifications for one or more electric bus categories, but the company’s ability to qualify cannot be determined from the summary alone.

A supply arrangement is a method of supply used by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to procure goods and services. A supply arrangement is an arrangement between Canada and pre-qualified suppliers that allows identified users to solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of a supply arrangement. A supply arrangement is not a contract for the provision of the goods and services described in it and neither party is legally bound as a result of signing a supply arrangement alone. The intent of a supply arrangement is to establish a framework to permit expeditious processing of individual bid solicitations which result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services described in those bid solicitations. All arrangements submitted under this Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) will be evaluated by Canada. Suppliers meeting the technical capabilities will be placed on the SA. Only suppliers who have been pre-qualified and have been awarded an SA will be allowed to submit bids for individual RFPs.
