Parks Canada is seeking suppliers for a national Supply Arrangement for terrestrial archaeology services at protected heritage places. Potentially relevant businesses may include archaeological consulting firms and qualified professionals able to provide services such as archaeological overview assessments, inventories and surveys, impact assessments, mitigation strategies, archaeological analysis, and monitoring of archaeological resources. The arrangement may cover multiple regions and sub-regions across Canada, including Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Canada, the Northwest Territories, Indigenous lands, and the National Capital Region. Parks Canada may award multiple arrangements, and later contracts issued under the arrangement may have a maximum expenditure limit of $1,000,000, including applicable taxes and fees. This is an ongoing qualification opportunity, meaning additional suppliers may be able to apply later, subject to the requirements in the RFSA. The procurement may involve comprehensive land claims agreements, Indigenous procurement measures, Indigenous Benefits Plans, or work set aside for Indigenous Supply Arrangement holders. A security requirement applies, and personnel requiring new Government of Canada security clearances may need fingerprinting at their own cost.Important submission instructions: Parks Canada states that bids are not currently accepted through SAP Ariba. Responses must be submitted by email to [email protected], as specified in the solicitation documents.
