TBIPS (Task-based Informatics)
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open Government of Canada Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) for Task-based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS), issued by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). It is intended to add new suppliers to the TBIPS supply arrangement and allow existing holders to request additional tiers, regions, metropolitan areas, streams, or categories. The arrangement may support future federal contracts for informatics and related professional services at locations across Canada, except areas covered by Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements. A supply arrangement is not itself a contract or guarantee of work; future requirements would generally be competed among pre-qualified suppliers, and a contract would exist only if one is later awarded. The listed closing date is July 4, 2028, at 2:00 p.m. However, the notice says refreshes occur quarterly, so the applicable refresh period, deadline, and submission instructions should be confirmed in the current RFSA documents and amendments. Businesses interested in responding appear to need to: - Review the RFSA, categories, streams, tiers, regions, and amendments. - Enrol in the PWGSC Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) Supplier Module. - Submit an online response through CPSS by the applicable closing time. - Be prepared to provide supporting documents by email if requested. - Follow Canada Buys/SAP Ariba registration requirements where applicable. Some future requirements may be set aside under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Businesses seeking consideration under that program would need to complete the required certification and register in the Indigenous Business Directory. Services may be required in English, French, or both, depending on the department’s needs. The solicitation replaces the earlier EN578-170432/B version. This opportunity potentially matches Canadian businesses providing the specified TBIPS informatics services, but the notice does not establish that any particular company qualifies. Review the official RFSA package and all amendments before deciding whether to respond, and verify registration, eligibility, categories, experience, security, language, geographic, and submission requirements directly with the official tender documents. The available document links are listed in the tender record; enquiries are directed to Informatics Methods of Supply at [email protected].
