NPP - TSB - IM_IT Research and Advisory Services

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is seeking professional services through a competitive selective tender under Supply Arrangement EN578-260567 to enhance its internal capabilities in information management and information technology through expert research, analysis, consulting, and strategic advisory support. The contract is open exclusively to pre-qualified suppliers listed under this arrangement who can provide services at two defined tiers: Tier 1, consisting of executive-level professionals such as CIOs and Director Generals, and Tier 2, comprising senior directors and directors. The place of performance is strictly limited to the National Capital Region, and the base contract period runs from award to March 31, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions that could extend performance through October 9, 2028. No physical deliverables are required; services are advisory in nature and must align with the TSB’s evolving operational needs, governance requirements, and technological challenges. Proposals must be submitted electronically by June 3, 2026, at 2:30 PM EDT to the contracting authority, Nicholas Warren, and may be presented in either English or French without specified page or format restrictions. There are no security clearance requirements, no named key personnel obligations, and no organizational conflict of interest clauses specified. The solicitation does not include contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing data, or detailed inspection and acceptance criteria, suggesting that eligibility stems entirely from prior qualification under the supply arrangement, and award will likely be based on best value given the nature of the services. No accounting, invoicing, or payment details are provided, and while UNSPSC codes classify the service types, no technical standards or performance metrics are outlined.
