Full Description

The Government of Canada is seeking feedback from industry to gather advice or examples related to how vendors optimize the hosting placement of applications, workloads, data, and hosting operations within their organization, as well as any artifacts they can share. This will assist Shared Service Canada, the primary application hosting provider for the Government of Canada, in enhancing its capabilities and value to the enterprise. The objective of engaging with industry is to gain insights into key factors, trade-offs, methods, and constraints that private industry utilizes to select optimal hosting placements for workloads. This involves balancing considerations such as cost savings, security, agility, scalability, time-to-market, and customer experience. Vendors are invited to submit their written feedback by email to pvrprotectedcloudarfnuageprotege@ssc-spc.gc.ca. Canada then reserves the right to organize one-on-one or group engagement meetings, the model of which is yet to be determined, with the vendors who have responded. The consultations are currently planned to take place between May 1,2024 and May 31, 2024.

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.
