The scope is divided into three primary streams: Consulting and Design, which includes site surveys and solution development; Fulfillment, covering installation, integration, and decommissioning; and Support and Maintenance, encompassing end-user training and technical support. The arrangement is designed to meet diverse government needs, ranging from basic installations to high-complexity integrated systems, and requires adherence to ICT accessibility standards based on EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 level AA.
Qualified suppliers are selected on a regional basis through a process requiring a valid Reliability security facility clearance and a minimum technical score of 50 points. Evaluation is based on business experience, a track record of complex projects valued over 200,000 dollars, and participation in Canada's Net-Zero Challenge. Pricing is established via ceiling hourly rates for specific roles, including project managers, installers, and programmers. The arrangement utilizes a tiered contract model where subsequent call-ups are governed by different general conditions based on the complexity of the requirement: Simple (2029), Medium Complexity (2010C), or High Complexity (2035). The current response deadline for qualification is January 27, 2030.
