Socio-economic aspects
Green procurement: Environmental commitments will be included in the request for standing offer and will be part of the financial evaluation. The submission of response to environmental commitments is optional, and the preferential margin will be applied only to the initial financial evaluation, and not to the rebid process
Small and medium-sized enterprises: Opportunity is open to all bidders of all sizes (open bidding)
Social Procurement: The CCPI Template that will be used for this procurement includes voluntary Social Procurement Supplier Self-Identification form
Value / Savings / Considerations
As a result of the business volume, economies of scale are generated by the use of the standing offers. Canada benefits from having quick access to meat, poultry and fish products particularly in emergency situations.
