Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec
This is an open Request for Information (RFI) from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), in collaboration with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Canada is seeking input from interested suppliers about a potential future service delivery contract to administer the Canada Student Financial Assistance (CSFA) Program. In plain English, the government is gathering information about how organizations could help deliver student financial assistance services reliably, affordably, and with a focus on clients. The RFI discusses the current service model, anticipated requirements, relevant legislation and government policies, procurement priorities, timelines, and questions for suppliers to answer. The work appears to be Canada-wide, with the listed location in Gatineau, Quebec. The response deadline is October 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Late submissions will not be accepted. Because this is an RFI, it appears intended to support planning and market engagement rather than directly award a contract. Participating could potentially help an organization provide feedback and understand the government’s future needs, but the notice does not establish that a contract will be awarded through this RFI or that any particular supplier will be selected. Review the complete official notice and any materials in the procurement portal for submission instructions, mandatory response requirements, applicable legislation, privacy and security expectations, and the government’s stated timelines. Verify all details directly in the official noticebefore preparing or submitting a response: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110021235?an Id=ANONYMOUS
