Shared Services Canada, on behalf of the Government of Canada, has issued a Request for Information under solicitation number BPM025917/33776 to gather industry insights in support of a potential future procurement of Automation Software. The RFI aims to assess the marketplace for Automation Software, including integrated software and service offerings, with a focus on Robotic Process Automation and its integration with emerging technologies such as Generative and Agentic Artificial Intelligence. The government seeks to understand industry capabilities, technological trends, and the landscape of available solutions while also gathering input on data and digital sovereignty considerations to ensure alignment with national priorities. This initiative is not a procurement but rather a foundational step to inform the development of a future procurement strategy, including technical requirements, financial models, and evaluation methodologies. Amendments have been issued to correct the language indicator in the French version of the document and to post additional questions and answers for clarity. Responses are due by May 14, 2026, and the solicitation is open to suppliers worldwide with performance expected across Canada and internationally. Primary point of contact is Matthew Woods, reachable at 873-455-2856.

Local Internet Access Services (LIAS)
Solicitation # BPM014160
Shared Services Canada (SSC) is seeking to establish a framework for delivering Local Internet Access Services (LIAS) across federal government sites nationwide through a Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) under solicitation BPM014160. The objective is to pre-qualify internet service providers capable of meeting the technical, security, and service delivery requirements for LIAS on an as-needed basis, servicing SSC, its partner organizations, mandatory clients, and other federal departments that opt to use this procurement pathway. Qualified suppliers will be issued Supply Arrangements that function as indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ)-like agreements, enabling the issuance of individual Service Orders for installation, moves, changes, disconnections, and ongoing maintenance of internet connections. The process is not a competitive bidding event but rather a selection mechanism to build a roster of vetted providers to streamline future procurements, standardize contracting, improve invoicing efficiency, and replace legacy agreements as they expire. Suppliers must register and submit responses exclusively through SSC’s Procure to Pay (P2P) Portal, with mandatory documentation including a structured response spreadsheet covering technical capability, financial information, compliance certifications, and declarations related to Indigenous business status, former public sector employment, and integrity. Key requirements include holding a valid Designated Organization Screening from Public Services and Procurement Canada, ensuring all personnel accessing sensitive sites have Reliability Status clearance, and supporting native IPv6 dual-stack configurations without tunneling. Contractors must comply with strict service level objectives, report security and privacy breaches immediately, retain access logs for seven years, and submit invoices electronically via the P2P Portal. Pricing must exclude voice services, and construction-related costs require prior written approval. Performance is tied to Service Orders with delivery locations defined per request, and acceptance occurs at the site after government-led testing. Options exist for contract extensions and emergency infrastructure scaling, with audit rights preserved to validate pricing and compliance. The solicitation closes in 2065, reflecting a long-term strategic procurement framework designed to support Canada’s evolving digital infrastructure needs.
