Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SSC
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
Shared Services Canada is seeking quotes to renew Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription licences, including software maintenance and support. The requirement is for 172 subscription licences for a 12-month period, with one contract planned. No security requirement is identified. This is a selective procurement under the Software Licensing Supply Arrangement (SLSA), rather than an open tender. The notice lists specific invited SLSA holders and Class-1 resellers, including CDW Canada, Softchoice, OnX Enterprise Solutions, Computacenter Canada, and others. Only suppliers that are already pre-qualified and hold the required SLSA arrangement appear eligible to bid. Businesses that are not listed or do not hold the applicable arrangement may not be able to submit a bid for this procurement. The work is associated with Shared Services Canada in the National Capital Region/Ottawa area, although the notice concerns software licensing and does not identify an on-site delivery requirement. The closing date is October 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The notice indicates that the RFQ will be sent directly to eligible SLSA holders and Class-1 resellers. A business that is an eligible invited supplier may wish to review the RFQ, pricing requirements, licence terms, support levels, and submission instructions. The notice also references an amendment, “Amendment 000,” and provides Raz Huxley at Shared Services Canada as the contracting authority for inquiries. Because no official source link or tender documents were provided here, verify the current official notice, amendment status, eligibility requirements, deadline, and submission process before taking action. This summary does not confirm that any particular business qualifies.
