Employment and Social Development Canada - *Canada, Gatineau, QC
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) is seeking suppliers for a national Supply Arrangement covering office furniture and cabling-related services. This appears relevant to Canadian businesses that can provide one or more of the following services across Canada: furniture assembly and moving; furniture dismantling, packaging and transport; office equipment cabling, connection, disconnection and installation; and repair services, subject to the full RFSA requirements. The arrangement is intended for work in Service Canada Centres, Passport Canada offices and other ESDC office locations across the provinces, territories and regions. Suppliers may indicate which work streams they are interested in and capable of delivering. Example activities include assembling and relocating furniture, dismantling and crating furniture, running or removing power and data cabling, protecting buildings and elevators during work, disposing of packaging responsibly, leaving sites clean, and reporting damaged or non-functional items. This is a qualification process for a Supply Arrangement rather than a single fixed project. New suppliers may submit arrangements while the notice remains posted, and suppliers that become qualified may later be invited to compete for work orders. The notice states that the arrangement began on April 1, 2024, and continues until ESDC determines it is no longer advantageous. The listed closing date is December 27, 2033 at 2:00 p.m., but this unusually distant date should be confirmed in the current official notice and any amendments. Potentially relevant businesses should review the complete RFSA and evaluation criteria, including the amended Mandatory Technical Criterion 1, security or registration requirements, geographic coverage, staffing and equipment expectations, insurance, experience evidence, bid submission instructions and applicable work-stream conditions. The supplied documents include the RFSA PDFs and a Contact Security Program application form. Verify all requirements, deadlines and amendment details on Canada Buys or the official tender documents before submitting anything. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, and this summary does not determine whether your business qualifies.
