Shared Services Canada - *Canada, *World *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario
Shared Services Canada (SSC) has issued an open Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for managed backup and recovery software for Government of Canada enterprise on-premises open systems. This is a first-stage prequalification process—not a request for bids, and no contract will be awarded at this stage. Suppliers that satisfy the ITQ’s requirements may become “Qualified Respondents” and could then be invited to later stages, including a Review and Refine Requirements phase and potentially a subsequent Request for Proposals. Participation in those later stages is currently intended to be limited to suppliers qualified through this ITQ. The listed closing date is November 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The opportunity is associated with Ottawa, Ontario, but the scope is identified as Canada and worldwide. It may be relevant to businesses that provide enterprise backup, data protection, recovery, or related software for on-premises open systems. The tender record references Amendments 001, 002, and 003, including changes to the closing date and responses to supplier questions. Before deciding whether to respond, review the complete ITQ and every amendment in the linked official documents, paying particular attention to mandatory qualification requirements, submission instructions, security or technical standards, and the current deadline. The tender record does not provide a direct official notice URL, so verify the opportunity and all details on the Government of Canada procurement source before submitting anything. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, and this summary does not confirm that your business qualifies.
