Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, QC
This appears to be an open Government of Canada Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) for Task-based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS), managed by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). It is intended to add new suppliers to the TBIPS supply arrangement and allow existing holders to apply for additional tiers, regions, metropolitan areas, streams, or categories. The arrangement may support future federal contracts for informatics professionals across Canada, excluding locations covered by Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements. It is not itself a contract or a guaranteed source of work. Future requirements would generally be competed among pre-qualified TBIPS suppliers, and a contract would exist only if Canada later awards one. Key details: -Closing date: July 4, 2028, at 2:00 p.m. The official notice should be checked to confirm the applicable time zone and whether amendments have changed this date. -Buyer: Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). -Delivery locations: Potentially throughout Canada, subject to the stated exclusions and future requirements. -Scope: Task-based informatics professional services across TBIPS streams and categories. The specific categories, tiers, regions, and evaluation requirements are set out in the RFSA documents. -Submission process: Suppliers must enroll in the CPSS Supplier Module and submit an online response by the deadline. Supporting documents may be requested by email. Suppliers may also need an account in the Government of Canada’s SAP Ariba procurement tool. - Existing TBIPS supply arrangement holders generally only need to respond if they are seeking additional qualifications; their current arrangement is described as remaining active and unchanged. - Indigenous business set-asides may apply to some future requirements. Businesses seeking recognition under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business must complete the relevant CPSS certification and be registered in the Indigenous Business Directory. - Responses and documents may be submitted in English or French. This opportunity may be relevant to Canadian firms that provide the specific informatics services listed in the TBIPS categories and can meet the RFSA’s administrative, technical, experience, registration, and submission requirements. The notice does not establish that any particular business qualifies. Review the complete official RFSA, all amendments, and the CPSS instructions before deciding whether to respond.
