Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) is seeking suppliers for Supply Arrangements covering audit and related services across Canada, excluding locations covered by Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements. This appears to be an ongoing qualification opportunity rather than a single fixed project. The arrangement reportedly has no defined end date and may remain in place while the Government considers it useful. Potentially relevant service areas include: - 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 relating to insurance and employee benefit liabilities - Stream 5: Special examinations of systems and practices - Stream 6: Information technology and systems audit and related services Applications are evaluated by stream or sub-stream. Suppliers may be considered for a Supply Arrangement only for the areas they apply for and meet the requirements for. Existing suppliers may not need to re-qualify for categories where they already hold an arrangement, but they must still comply with the solicitation requirements. The notice includes five amendments, including supplier-question responses, changes to solicitation terms, correction of the contracting-authority email, and the addition of Stream 6. The listed closing date of January 1, 2100 may reflect the ongoing nature of the opportunity and should not be relied on without checking the official notice. Businesses with relevant audit, accounting, actuarial, data analytics, financial instruments, special examination, cybersecurity, IT audit, or systems-audit capabilities may find this opportunity potentially relevant. The available information does not establish that any particular business qualifies. Before preparing a submission, review the full solicitation and all amendments in the official Canada Buys documents, confirm the current closing or qualification process, eligibility requirements, mandatory experience, security or other certifications, submission instructions, and the correct contracting-authority contact information.
