Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec
This appears to be an open, ongoing qualification opportunity from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of Correctional Service Canada. The goal is to establish a supply arrangement with suppliers that can provide equipment and software to replace obsolete electronic security technologies in federal correctional institutions across Canada. The required solutions potentially include: - Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) - Perimeter Security Management Systems (PSMS) - Interior Security Management Systems (ISMS) Important considerations: - The opportunity includes security requirements, which may involve additional screening, safeguards, or controlled-information obligations. - A mandatory virtual site visit is required. The notice states that suppliers will be contacted by the Supply Arrangement Authority to schedule the visit after submitting an arrangement and after the relevant quarterly closing date has passed. - The listed closing date is August 19, 2030 at 2:00 p.m. The tender is identified as Canada-wide, although Gatineau, Quebec is shown as the location. - This is a qualification/supply arrangement process rather than necessarily a single immediate purchase. Suppliers accepted into the arrangement may become eligible for future requirements, subject to the official terms and any later competitions or call-ups. This opportunity may be relevant to Canadian businesses that provide integrated perimeter or interior security systems, intrusion detection technology, security management software, installation, or related support services. The available information does not confirm whether a particular company meets the technical, security, experience, certification, or other requirements. Review the complete official tender notice and all attachments on the PSPC procurement portal before deciding whether to submit. Confirm the exact submission process, quarterly deadlines, mandatory site-visit procedure, security requirements, technical specifications, supplier qualifications, and any applicable Indigenous, subcontracting, or Canadian-content provisions.
