Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), together with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) about the future delivery of the Canada Student Financial Assistance (CSFA) Program. The potential future contract would involve administering student financial assistance across Canada, with an emphasis on reliable, affordable, client-focused service delivery and compliance with applicable legislation and government policies. This is an information-gathering exercise, not necessarily a call for bids or a contract award. The RFI asks interested suppliers to provide responses about the current service model, procurement priorities, timelines, requirements, and considerations for a future service delivery contract. The notice does not provide enough information to determine whether a particular business is suitable or able to participate. The stated closing date is October 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.; the applicable time zone and submission instructions should be confirmed in the official notice. Late submissions will not be accepted. The opportunity is associated with Canada and Gatineau, Quebec, and responses appear to be managed through the SAP Ariba portal. Businesses considering a response should review the complete official RFI, including all questions, required response format, registration or portal requirements, privacy and security expectations, legislation, and any amendments. Verify all dates and instructions directly in the official tender notice before submitting a response: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110021235?an Id=ANONYMOUS
