Ongoing Opportunity to Qualify - Audit and Related Services
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) is accepting applications from suppliers seeking to qualify for long-term Supply Arrangements (SAs) for audit and related services across Canada, including Ottawa and other Canadian locations. This is an ongoing qualification opportunity rather than a single assignment, and the arrangement has no fixed end date. It may remain open until the Government of Canada decides it is no longer useful. The opportunity appears relevant to firms providing one or more of these services: - Stream 1: Financial audit - Stream 2: Data analytics supporting audit evidence - Stream 3: Financial instruments audit and related consulting, including valuation, private-market valuation, and presentation/disclosure of financial instruments and derivatives - Stream 4: Actuarial services for insurance or employee-benefit liabilities - Stream 5: Special examinations of the operating effectiveness of systems and practices - Stream 6: Information technology and systems audit and related services, added through Amendment 004 Applications are evaluated by stream or sub-stream. Suppliers may be recommended for an SA only for the areas they apply for and meet the stated requirements. Existing suppliers may not need to re-qualify for categories where they already hold an SA, but they must still comply with the solicitation requirements. The notice indicates that services may be required throughout Canada, excluding locations covered by Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements. The listed closing date is January 1, 2100 at 2:00 p.m., which appears to represent an ongoing or open-ended opportunity rather than a normal near-term deadline. A potentially interested business should review the complete RFSA and all amendments—especially Amendment 004 for Stream 6, Amendment 003 for supplier-question responses and changes, Amendment 002, and Amendment 001 for contact-information corrections. Before submitting anything, verify the current requirements, mandatory qualifications, forms, evaluation method, submission process, applicable stream details, and deadline in the official tender documents on Canada Buys. This summary does not establish that a particular company qualifies.
