Full Description

Show more
Canada has a requirement for cellular services and products within Canada, and for service when roaming in the USA and internationally. The contract period for any resulting Government Cellular Services (GCS) contracts (up to 3 contracts) is intended to be 6 years, plus 4 option periods of one year each. This Invitation to Qualify (ITQ), BPM022250 is neither a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor a solicitation of bids or tenders and is intended only to pre-qualify suppliers that possess the qualifications required by SSC for participation in the next phase of the procurement process for GCS.   No contract will result from this ITQ. Together, this ITQ and the planned Review and Refine Requirements phase (RRR) and bid solicitation are the three parts of the procurement process.   Canada reserves the right to cancel the procurement process at any time.  Given that this ITQ or the subsequent bid solicitation may be cancelled by Canada at any time in accordance with the applicable terms, it may not result in the subsequent procurement process described in this document. Because the ITQ is not a bid solicitation, suppliers who submit a response can choose not to bid on the subsequent bid solicitation.Procure to Pay (P2P) Portal: Procure to Pay (P2P) is an integral part of SSC’s contracting processes where all SSC requirements and solicitations are posted and managed. Suppliers must be registered and logged into P2P in order to submit a response. Registering for an account will allow vendors to view, respond, bid, invoice, and manage opportunities with SSC. Resources are available to assist your business with account setup and support.

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.
