AI Contract Overview
Shared Services Canada is issuing Request for Supply Arrangement BPM014160 to prequalify Internet Service Providers to provide Local Internet Access Services across Canada. This initiative supports Shared Services Canada, its exclusive partner organizations, mandatory clients, and other government organizations on an as-needed basis. The primary objective is to establish a pool of qualified providers to standardize future contracts, streamline solicitation and invoicing processes, and manage the transition of legacy connections through recompeting expired contracts and establishing new connections. This process is a prequalification exercise rather than a direct solicitation for bids, meaning that while qualified providers will be granted a Supply Arrangement, there is no guarantee of a subsequent contract award. Interested suppliers must register and manage their submissions through the Procure to Pay portal, utilizing a specific response spreadsheet to provide regional assessment information and commercial service details. The procurement process includes various amendments and modifications to clarify service regions, contractual terms, and submission requirements to ensure a transparent and efficient selection of capable providers.

This RFSA is not a solicitation of bids or tenders and is intended to pre-qualify suppliers that possess the criteria required by SSC to be issued a Supply Arrangement. Although SSC intends to award as many SAs as possible resulting from this RFSA, there is no obligation to award a contract as a result of being issued an SA from this RFSA process. 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. Visit https://sscp2pspc.ssc-spc.gc.ca and click “New Supplier? / Register Now” to get started on creating your account.
