ACAN - Applicant Tracking System

An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. PCO requires an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), integrated with existing and new appointment systems for the Senior Personnel Secretariat. The solution provides a long term stable and scalable system to support applicant tracking as well as screening and selection of qualified candidates for recommendation to Governor-in-Council [GIC] appointments as well as appointments of Senators. The purpose of this advance contract award notice (ACAN) is to signal the PCO’s intention to award a contract for these services to: Conseillers en gestion et informatique CGI Inc.
