The qualification list will expire within 180 days or upon award of a contract in Stage Two, whichever is earlier, and the prequalification list will not be used in any other solicitation.
Following the evaluation of the submissions of Stage One, bidders will be advised of their qualification result and the status of the tender. Parks Canada reserves the right to re-issue Stage One via a /B solicitation if it is determined there is insufficient competition to proceed with Stage Two. Bidders that have qualified in Stage One /A will not be required to resubmit on the Stage One /B. Bidders that failed to demonstrate compliance on the Stage One /A may resubmit and will be considered in Stage One /B.
