AI Contract Overview
Employment and Social Development Canada is seeking service providers for on-demand moving and installation services across British Columbia, excluding Vancouver Island, to support its various facilities including Service Canada Centres and Passport Offices. The requirement covers the full spectrum of office relocations including packing, crating, loading, transporting, unloading, unpacking, assembling and disassembling furniture and equipment such as computers, filing cabinets, kitchen appliances, and boardroom furnishings, along with comprehensive site cleanup after each work order. Services may be performed during regular business hours as well as evenings and weekends, depending on operational needs. The solicitation, issued as Amendment #2 to supersede the previous bid solicitation 100030226 dated December 23, 2025, remains open for submissions with a closing date of August 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. Bidders must structure their financial proposals around two predefined pricing scenarios—small internal office moves weighted at 70 percent and medium standard relocations at 30 percent—with all unit costs to be completed by the bidder. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model where technical compliance is mandatory, and in the event of a tie, the bid offering the best value to Canada will be selected. The contract has an initial term of seven months from the date of award, with the government retaining an irrevocable option to extend the contract for up to three additional one-year periods, extending potential performance through March 31, 2030. All contractors must comply with stringent security protocols including obtaining valid Designated Organization Screening from the Contract Security Program and ensuring all personnel assigned to the contract hold at a minimum a Reliability Status clearance. Submission of the Contract Security Program Application for Registration form is mandatory with the bid, and failure to provide this or complete security documentation upon request will result in non-responsiveness. The contract is also subject to the Tsawwassen First Nation Final Agreement (2009) and multiple international and domestic trade agreements including CETA, CPTPP, CFTA, and others, requiring adherence to procurement fairness provisions. Invoicing must be submitted electronically to a designated government email, with payment made via direct deposit, and must include applicable financial codes as specified in the contract. All communications, documents, and amendments must be submitted electronically with a strict 13 MB email size limit, and only English or French bids are accepted. The contractor must also ensure compliance
