No government property may be removed from designated sites unless stored on an OAG-issued laptop, and the Contractor must safeguard and return all government assets upon demand. The solicitation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation model, where bids must meet two mandatory technical criteria—submission of a detailed CV demonstrating required qualifications and certification of fluent written and verbal English proficiency—before financial evaluation proceeds. Only technically compliant proposals are considered, and award is granted to the lowest-priced bid meeting all requirements. Financial documentation must include the Procurement Business Number, Client Reference Number, and financial codes, with invoices submitted electronically to finance@oag-bvg.gc.ca along with supporting timesheets and progress reports. The Contractor must ensure independence from the audited entity, disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest, and comply with the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity. Key personnel must be pre-approved and substitutions require formal authorization. The contract prohibits contingency fees, requires adherence to Canadian economic sanctions, and mandates compliance with workplace harassment policies. All submissions must be made electronically in four clearly labeled sections, no physical or faxed submissions are accepted, and proposals must be received by May 14, 2026, at 14:00 Eastern Time. The contract explicitly states that time is of the essence, and any delays must be authorized by the Contracting Authority.
