Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open supplier pre-qualification opportunity—not a single contract—for temporary help services in Canada’s National Capital Region (NCR). The buyer is Public Works and Government Services Canada (PSPC). Potentially relevant businesses would provide temporary staffing services in the NCR, which includes the Ottawa-Carleton area in Ontario and the Outaouais area in Quebec. The arrangement covers 14 service streams and classifications; the applicable streams, categories, and qualification requirements are set out in the RFSA documents. Key points: - Suppliers must submit through the Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS). - Supply arrangements may be submitted on an ongoing basis while the permanent notice remains active. - PSPC may evaluate submissions in quarterly cycles. - Once an arrangement is awarded, a supplier may apply for additional classifications or streams in later quarters. - There is no stated limit on the number of supply arrangements that may be issued. - Documents may be submitted in either official language. - The listed closing date is March 31, 2028 at 2:00 p.m.; however, the notice describes a perpetual-refresh process, so confirm how this date and the current submission cycle apply. This opportunity may be relevant to a Canadian temporary staffing provider with the required experience, personnel, classifications, and CPSS submission capability. It does not by itself guarantee work or mean a business qualifies. Review the complete RFSA, all amendments—identified here as amendment #009—and the incorporated documents before submitting. Confirm the current requirements, evaluation cycle, applicable streams, security or other administrative requirements, and submission instructions through the official Canada Buys notice and CPSS. Questions may be directed to [email protected].
