Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
Shared Services Canada (SSC) has issued an open Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for managed backup and recovery software for the Government of Canada’s enterprise on-premises open-systems environment. This is a pre-qualification stage—not a request for bids—and no contract will be awarded at this stage. Suppliers that meet all stated qualification requirements may become “Qualified Respondents” and could then be invited to later phases, including a Review and Refine Requirements process and potentially a future request for proposals. Participation in those later phases is currently expected to be limited to suppliers qualified through this ITQ. The opportunity is associated with Ottawa, Ontario, but may involve Canada-wide or international service considerations. The listed closing time is October 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Verify the time zone and any amended deadline in the official documents. An amendment is referenced, so businesses should carefully review the ITQ, Amendment 000, and all attached documents for eligibility rules, technical requirements, response instructions, security obligations, and submission procedures. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to software providers or other suppliers with suitable enterprise backup and recovery capabilities, but the available summary is not enough to determine whether your business can participate or meet the requirements. Review the official tender notice and documents before deciding whether to respond or relying on the deadline. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
