Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be a request for information (RFI), not a confirmed catering contract. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is seeking to identify underrepresented Canadian catering suppliers for a list that may be shared with federal departments and agencies in Atlantic Canada. Potentially relevant businesses would need to: - Have their principal place of business in Canada; - Be owned by a member of an underrepresented group, including women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, or members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community; and - Provide catering services in at least one Atlantic province: New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland and Labrador. The notice says businesses should submit information through the linked Government of Canada form. PSPC may follow up to confirm eligibility. Being included on the list would not guarantee that the business is contacted or awarded work. The listed closing date is September 1, 2027, at 2:00 p.m., but the location field also references Gatineau, Quebec while the description focuses on Atlantic Canada. Verify the current deadline, geographic scope, required forms, ownership documentation, and submission process in the official tender notice before submitting information.Official source: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/16986986?an Id=ANONYMOUS
