Shared Services Canada has issued Request for Information R0000175870 to gather industry insights regarding the application of accessibility standards for Information and Communication Technologies. This initiative follows the May 2024 adoption of the European Harmonized Standard EN 301 549 by Accessible Standards Canada, which is now the official standard for the Government of Canada under code CAN/ASC - EN 301 549:2024. The primary objective of this RFI is to assess industry awareness and current usage of these standards in the design and development of solutions, training, and non-web documents, while identifying potential barriers or challenges companies may face when conforming to these requirements to do business with the federal government. The scope of the anticipated procurement involves Shared Services Canada and its various client institutions, including those for whom services are mandatory or optional. This process is strictly for industry engagement and market research to support the government's commitment to a barrier-free Canada; it is not a bid solicitation for a contract award. Interested parties are directed to the primary point of contact, Julie Dessureault, for further inquiries regarding the application of these accessibility standards.

IMPORTANT: All enquiries submitted between December 23rd, 2024 to January 6th, 2025 will only be answered after January 6, 2025. In May 2024, Accessible Standards Canada (ASC) officially adopted the European Harmonized Standard on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for use in Canada. The EN 301 549 standard states the accessibility requirements for ICT products and services. Under the code CAN/ASC - EN 301 549:2024, this standard is now approved for use throughout the country as an official standard for the Government of Canada. The official endorsement of this standard re-iterates the importance for federal organizations to take action in adopting the measures therein and follow the guidance provided in the Guideline on Making Information Technology Usable by All. It is recommended that organizations adopt the CAN/ASC - EN 301 549:2024 standard in support of the Government's commitment to an accessible and barrier-free Canada. Reason for this RFI Shared Services Canada (SSC) is posting this RFI with the intention to understand: -Industry’s awareness and use of ICT accessibility standards and/or guidelines, in particular, the EN 301 549 Harmonised European Standard – Accessibility Requirements for ICT Products and Services, in the design and development of its solutions, non-web documents and training; and -Any barriers/challenges or obstacles that Industry may encounter if required to conform to an ICT accessibility standard, in particular, the EN 301 549 Harmonised European Standard – Accessibility Requirements for ICT Products and Services, in order to do business with the Government of Canada. Scope of Anticipated Procurement: iPotential Client Users: This RFI is being issued by SSC. SSC’s clients include SSC itself, those government institutions for which SSC’s services are mandatory at any point during the life of any resulting instrument(s), and those other organizations for which SSC’s services are optional at any point during the life of any resulting instrument(s) and that choose to use those services from time to time.

Local Internet Access Services (LIAS)
Solicitation # BPM014160
Shared Services Canada (SSC) has issued Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) BPM014160 to prequalify Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide Local Internet Access Services (LIAS) for federal government sites across Canada. This initiative aims to establish a pool of qualified suppliers to streamline the procurement of symmetrical and asymmetrical internet connections, formalize legacy connections, and standardize the contract award process for SSC, its partner organizations, and mandatory clients. The RFSA is not a direct solicitation for bids but a qualification process; once an ISP is issued a Supply Arrangement, they become eligible to compete for specific requirements through future Requests for Quotation (RFQ) or Requests for Proposal (RFP). The procurement is managed through the SSC Procure to Pay (P2P) Portal, where all submissions must be uploaded. Qualified suppliers will be evaluated based on their capacity and experience, with specific technical requirements such as bandwidth and Service Level Agreements defined at the individual Service Order level. Pricing is not fixed but is determined on a per-requirement basis based on geographic location and technical needs, though Canada may directly select compliant contractors for requirements totaling 40,000 dollars or less. The contract incorporates General Conditions for Higher Complexity Services and requires bidders to meet specific security clearance standards, including Reliability Status for personnel accessing sensitive sites.
