Shared Services Canada is issuing an Invitation to Qualify to pre-qualify suppliers for the provision of notebooks and tablets across all in-scope Government of Canada departments and agencies. This initiative covers the supply, delivery, installation, warranty, and ongoing maintenance of mobile devices and their associated peripherals. The ITQ is the first phase in a multi-stage procurement process, designed to identify qualified vendors who will later be invited to submit detailed bids. Response submissions are due by July 30, 2026, and evaluators will assess compliance against mandatory technical criteria focused on deployment capabilities, with additional consideration given to delivery channels within Canada. Successful respondents will be placed on a standing offer with no set expiry date, though individual categories will initially be valid for two years and eligible for two optional two-year extensions. The procurement is open to all eligible suppliers under applicable trade agreements, with no national security exception invoked, and contracting obligations under Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements will be taken into account. No security requirements are attached to this requirement, and the process is designed to allow new suppliers to qualify or existing ones to expand their offerings into new categories as technology needs evolve, through future competitions on CanadaBuys.

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.
