Part 6a—resulting supply arrangement

1. Supply Arrangement

The Task Based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS) Supply Arrangement (SA) is the mandatory method of supply for the provision of task-based informatics professional Services at or above the Canada Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) threshold.

It covers seven core areas of expertise that are commonly and nationally used:

  1. Application Services
  2. Geomatics Services
  3. Information Management/Information Technology Services
  4. Business Services
  5. Project Management Services
  6. Cyber Protection Services
  7. Telecommunications Services

Task based services are finite work assignments related to a particular activity or initiative required to address a specific Information Technology (IT) need that requires one or more consultants to complete the work. Instead of offering a broad solution to a problem, task-based services are more focused and aimed at completing a particular task. 

A task-based service involves a specific start date, a specific end date and set of deliverables and is often used for one-time or short-term projects where the client needs specific tasks completed. These services are usually not associated with large broad projects, although they may be subsets of a larger project. Task based services may require highly specialized work to be performed requiring a rare or unique skill or knowledge, used to fill a specific role or to address a capability gap, for a short period of time.

The supplier will:

The SA encompasses only those Services described under the TBIPS streams and category page available at the following PWGSC website: Task—based informatics professional service: Streams and categories. Those services are further identified in the case of each specific SA holder in Annex A at issuance of the SA.

In addition to the Clauses and Conditions enumerated in Section 3 below, contracts resulting from this SA can, at the discretion of Identified User (client), incorporate but are not limited to: Task Authorizations, various security requirements, options to extend the contract (within the scope of the applicable Tier), Limitations of Expenditure & Liability, etc.

2. Security Requirement for resulting contracts

There is no security requirement applicable to the resulting Supply Arrangement, Contracts issued under an SA are subject to the requirements in the Security Requirement Check Lists (SRCL's) identified in each individual Request for Proposal issued by Clients. Common SRCL’s are accessible through the CPSS web site at Common centralized professional services: Security requirement check lists but other SRCLS may be used. Each Request for Proposal will identify the SRCL that will apply to any resulting contract.

3. Standard clauses and conditions

All clauses and conditions identified in the SA and resulting contract(s) by number, date and title are set out in the Standard Acquisition Clauses and Conditions Manual issued by Public Works and Government Services Canada available at Archived—Standard Acquisition Clauses and Conditions Manual.

General Conditions— 2020 (2022-12-01) General Conditions—Supply Arrangement—Goods or Services Archived—Standard Acquisition Clauses and Conditions Manual, apply to and form part of the Supply Arrangement.

2020-19 Anti-forced labour requirements

  1. Canada may suspend or cancel the Supply Arrangement in accordance with section 2020-09—Suspension or cancellation of qualification by Canada if the Supplier has, in the past three years been convicted of any of the following offences under the Criminal Code or the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act:

    Criminal Code:

    1. section 279.01 (Trafficking in persons)
    2. section 279.011 (Trafficking of a person under the age of eighteen years)

    7. section 118 (Trafficking in persons)
  2. Canada may suspend or cancel the Supply Arrangement in accordance with section 2020 09—Suspension or cancellation of qualification by Canada if the Supplier has, in the past three years, been convicted of an offence in a jurisdiction other than Canada that, in Canada’s opinion, is similar to any of the offences identified in paragraph 1.
  3. For purposes of determining whether a foreign offence is similar to a listed offence, PWGSC will take into account the following factors:
    • in the case of a conviction, whether the court acted within its jurisdiction
    • whether the supplier was afforded the right to appear during the court’s proceedings or to submit to the court’s jurisdiction
    • whether the court’s decision was obtained by fraud; or
    • whether the supplier was entitled to present to the court every defence that the supplier would have been entitled to present had the proceeding been tried in Canada
  4. Where Canada intends to suspend or cancel the Supply Arrangement under this section, Canada will inform the Supplier and may provide the Supplier an opportunity to make written representations before making a final decision. Written representations must be submitted within 30 days from receiving a notice of concern unless Canada establishes a different deadline.

3.1 Changes to the Supply Arrangement (evergreen clause)

From time to time, PWGSC may also amend any part of the Supply Arrangement as a result of a policy notification, legislation, or procedural change. Any such change will not affect existing contracts in place prior to the date of change. Notification of such change will be sent to suppliers via a generic email. Should a supplier not be in agreement with such modifications, and no longer wishes to be considered for requirements issued under the Supply Arrangement framework as a result of the changes, the supplier will notify the Supply Arrangement Authority and this supplier will no longer be on the list of qualified suppliers.

3.2 Resulting Contract Clauses

The conditions of any contract awarded under this SA will be in accordance with Part C—Resulting Contract Clauses.

3.3 Supply Arrangement Reporting

The Supplier must compile and maintain records on its provision of goods, services or both to the federal government under contracts resulting from the SA.

The Supplier must provide this data in accordance with the reporting requirements detailed at: Quarterly usage report instructions. If no goods or services are provided during a given period, the Supplier must still provide a "NIL" report. Canada reserves the right to change the “NIL” reporting procedure at any time.

The quarterly reporting periods are defined as follows:

Table 1: Quarterly usage report calendar
Quarter Period Covered Due on or Before
Q1 April 1 to June 30 July 15
Q2 July 1 to September 30 October 15
Q3 October 1 to December 31 January 15
Q4 January 1 to March 31 April 15

Failure to provide fully completed quarterly reports in accordance with the above instructions may result in the suspension or cancellation of the SA and the application of a vendor performance corrective measure.

4. Term of Supply Arrangement

The period of the Supply Arrangement is valid from date of issuance until July 4, 2028. or, until such time as Canada chooses to re-compete the Supply Arrangement, no longer deems the Supply Arrangements necessary, or proceeds with a different procurement vehicle.

The Contractor grants to Canada the irrevocable option to extend the term of the Supply Arrangement by up to a 5 additional year periods under the same conditions.

The option may only be exercised by the Contracting Authority, and will be evidenced for administrative purposes only, through a Supply Arrangement amendment.

Canada may, by notice in writing to all SA suppliers and by posting on the CanadaBuys website (CanadaBuys) cancel this SA or its Categories or Stream(s) by giving all SA suppliers at least 30 calendar days’ notice of the cancellation.

4.1 Request for Supply Arrangement Bid Solicitations

As part of its continuous effort to make it easier for Suppliers to do business with Canada, Canada is making Supply Arrangements (SA) valid from the date of issuance until July 4, 2028 or until such time as Canada:

  1. exercise the option to extend the term of the SA, or
  2. chooses to re-compete the SA, or
  3. no longer deems the SAs necessary, or
  4. chooses to proceed with a different procurement vehicle for the requirement if it considers such action appropriate

A permanent notice will be posted on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) for the duration of the Supply Arrangement (SA) describing this procurement vehicle which will invite additional suppliers to submit bids to become pre-qualified Suppliers and to be issued SAs for the provision of Services.

New Suppliers: Throughout the Supply Arrangement Period, new bidders may submit bids to become pre-qualified Suppliers.

Existing pre-qualified Suppliers: This will also permit pre-qualified Suppliers to submit bids to modify their existing SA. No existing Supplier will be removed from the qualified supplier list because of the addition of new Suppliers.

Number of Supply Arrangements: The Supplier acknowledges that Canada may issue an unlimited number of Supply Arrangements and may continue to issue Supply Arrangements to suppliers throughout the Supply Arrangement period.

Evolving Requirement: During a Refresh process, Canada may add new and (or) remove and (or) modify existing streams and categories

Canada reserves the right to issue Supply Arrangements to bidders who qualify throughout the entire period of the Supply Arrangement.

4.2 Ongoing Opportunity to Qualify

Ongoing opportunities enable the supplier to qualify for additional Categories to be added to its SA. Participation in the refresh solicitations is entirely optional and not required to maintain any TBIPS SA.

This schedule may require a revision due to operational requirements, in which case Suppliers will be advised via the CPSS supplier dashboard.

Table 2: Quarterly refreshes
FY Quarter Opening Date (first business day of the month): Closing Date (last business day of the month): Estimated Award Date (Subject to Change)
Q1 April June End of September
Q2 July September End of December
Q3 October December End of March
Q4 January March End of June

Please note that the CPSS will not allow a bidder to submit another bid to a subsequent period until the results of their previously submitted bid is published.

Each quarter is assigned a period number which is reflected on the Solicitation Dashboard of the CPSS ePortal which will increase as quarters pass. Each period (that is Quarter) will automatically close in the Data Collection Component of the CPSS ePortal as per the date and time indicated on the Solicitation Dashboard of the CPSS ePortal. Data cannot be submitted against a “closed” period. Only those bidders who have submitted data by the closing date and time of a period will be evaluated. Please note that the DCC will not allow a bidder to submit another bid to a subsequent period until the results of their previously submitted bid is published.

Quarterly Refreshes allow new bidders to become qualified. New bidders may submit a bid for a Supply Arrangement at any time by responding to a Quarterly Refresh.

Existing pre-qualified Suppliers who have been issued a Supply Arrangement, will not be required to submit a new bid under Quarterly Refreshes. An existing Supplier may propose to modify its supply arrangement by submitting a bid against a Quarterly Refresh.

Canada will evaluate in each quarter those submissions received for that quarter as identified in the above table. This schedule may require a revision due to operational requirements and in which case bidders will be advised. Participation in a refresh evaluation is entirely optional and not required to maintain any Supply Arrangement.

5. Authorities

5.1 Supply Arrangement Authority

The SA Authority is:

Supply Team Leader of the TBIPS method of supply
Public Works and Government Services Canada
Acquisitions Branch, Professional Services Procurement Directorate
10 Wellington Street, Terrasses de la Chaudière building, 5th floor
Gatineau, Québec K1A 0S5

E-mail address: rcnmdai.ncrimos@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca

The SA Authority (or its authorized representative) is responsible for the issuance of the SA, its administration and its revision, if applicable. Upon the issuance of an arrangement solicitation under the SA by a Client (Federal Department User), that Client's Contracting Authority is responsible for any contractual issues relating to the contract solicited. Any changes to the SA must be authorized in writing by the SA Authority.

The SA Authority is the main delegated authority on behalf of Canada and the Minister for the administration and management of this SA. The SA Authority will act as the overall maintainer of the TBIPS SA pre-qualified Supplier's list and will be responsible for ensuring the administration of all SAs.

5.2 Supplier's Representatives

This individual is the central point of contact for the Supplier on all matters pertaining to this SA. The Supplier confirms that this individual has the authority to bind the Supplier. It is the Supplier's sole responsibility to ensure that the information related to the Supplier Representative is correct. If a replacement or a new Supplier Representative is required, the Supplier will:

  1. inform CPSS by e-mail at tpsgc.sspc-cpss.pwgsc@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca, and
  2. inform the SA Authority by e-mail at rcnmdai.ncrimos@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca:
  3. provide the following information:
    • Name
    • Telephone Number
    • E-mail

The Supplier may designate another individual to represent the Supplier for administrative and technical purposes under any contract resulting from this SA.

5.3 Supplier's Information

Suppliers are responsible for the maintenance of their tombstone data in CPSS. Suppliers must also safeguard the credentials released to the Main Supplier Contact (MSC) and Supplier's Contacts that enable access to the Supplier Module of CPSS.

Canada will not delay or cancel any solicitation or contract process due to a supplier's inability to access, modify or validate such credentials, or because of any claim that such credentials were used without proper authorization.

6. Federal Department Users/ Clients/ Identified Users

Subject to signing a Master Level User Agreement (MLUA), the Identified Users (also called Clients, or federal government departments) include any government department, agency or Crown Corporation listed in Schedules I, I.1, II, III, IV, and V of the Financial Administration Act, R.S., 1985, c. F-11 and any other party for which the Department of Public Works and Government Services has been authorized to act from time to time under section 16 of the Department of Public Works and Government Services Act.

Canada may, at any time, withdraw authority from any of the Identified Users to use the SA.

7. Priority of Documents

If there is a discrepancy between the wording of any documents that appear on the list, the wording of the document that first appears on the list has priority over the wording of any document that subsequently appears on the list.

  1. The articles of the SA
  2. The general conditions 2020 (2022-12-01), General Conditions - Supply Arrangement - Goods or Services
  3. Annex A to Component II: Qualified Categories
  4. Requirements for Services of the SA
  5. The Supplier's arrangement received against the TBIPS RFSA

8. Certifications

Compliance with the certifications provided by the Supplier in the arrangement is a condition of the SA and subject to verification by Canada during the term of the SA and of any resulting contract that would continue beyond the period of the SA. If the Supplier does not comply with any certification or it is determined that any certification made by the Supplier in the arrangement is untrue, whether made knowingly or unknowingly, Canada retains the right to terminate any resulting contract for default and suspend or cancel the SA.

9. Applicable Laws

The Supply Arrangement (SA) must be interpreted and governed, and the relations between the parties determined, by the laws in force in Ontario. However, suppliers may, at their discretion, substitute the applicable laws of a Canadian province or territory of their choice without affecting the validity of the bid, by selecting an alternate Canadian province or territory in their electronic submission via CPSS under the "Company Information" section. The substitution will take effect at the beginning of every new refresh period. If no change is made, this acknowledges that the applicable laws specified are acceptable to the Bidder.

10. Suspension or Cancellation of Qualification by Canada

In addition to the circumstances identified in the General Conditions 2020 article 09, Canada may, by sending written notice to the Supplier, suspend or cancel the SA where the Supplier has made public any information that conflicts with the terms, conditions, pricing or availability of systems identified in this SA, or where the Supplier is in default in carrying out any of its obligations under this SA, including any violations of the Code of Conduct for Procurement.

If an identified user (also known as a client department) notifies the SA Authority that they have terminated a contract for default with a pre-qualified supplier, under General Conditions – Supply Arrangement – Goods or Services 2020 09 1(b), the SA Authority may do the following:

  1. First default: provide a written warning to the pre-qualified supplier, outlining the repercussions should this happen again
  2. Second default: suspend the SA of the pre-qualified Supplier for a period of three months upon written notification to the pre-qualified Supplier. The written notification will indicate the date on which the suspension will be complete
  3. Third default: suspend the SA of the pre-qualified Supplier for a period of six months upon written notification to the pre-qualified Supplier. The written notification will indicate the date on which the suspension will be complete, and in the case of multiple suspensions, confirm the number of suspensions the pre-qualified Supplier has already received

Once each suspension is over, the pre-qualified Supplier will be advised in writing that their SA will be re-activated.

If Canada gets notified of a fourth default, Canada will terminate the SA with the pre-qualified Supplier who now becomes a former pre-qualified supplier. The former pre-qualified supplier must then wait one year before they may apply to pre-qualify under the SA. For the purpose of re-qualification, they are considered to be a ‘new bidder’. As a ‘new bidder’, the former pre-qualified supplier must substantiate that they meet all the mandatory criteria outlined in the Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) documentation.

11. Indigenous Business Certification

Where an Indigenous Business Certification has been provided, the Supplier warrants that its certification of compliance is accurate and complete and in accordance with the "Requirements for the Set-aside Program for Indigenous Business" detailed in Annex 9.4 of the Supply Manual.

  1. If such a Certification has been provided, the Supplier must keep proper records and documentation relating to the accuracy of the certification provided to Canada. The Supplier must obtain the written consent of the Contracting Authority before disposing of any such records or documentation before the expiration of six (6) years after final payment under the Contract, or until settlement of all outstanding claims and disputes, under the Contract, whichever is later. All such records and documentation must at all times during the retention period be open to audit by the representatives of Canada, who may make copies and take extracts. The Supplier must provide all reasonably required facilities for any audits
  2. Nothing in this clause must be interpreted as limiting the rights and remedies which Canada may otherwise have pursuant to the Contract

12. Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement

The Supply Arrangement (SA) is for the delivery of the requirement detailed in the SA to the Identified Users across Canada, excluding locations within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Labrador that are subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs).

Any requirement for deliveries to locations within CLCAs areas within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, or Labrador will have to be treated as a separate procurement, outside of this Supply Arrangement.

13. Environmental Considerations

As part of Canada's policy directing federal departments and agencies to take the necessary steps to acquire products and services that have a lower impact on the environment than those traditionally acquired, Suppliers should:

  1. Paper consumption
    • Provide and transmit draft reports, final reports, other documents and bids in electronic format. Should printed material be required, double sided printing in black and white format is the default unless otherwise specified by the Identified User
    • Printed material is requested on minimum recycled content of 30% and/or certified as originating from a sustainably managed forest
    • Recycle unneeded printed documents (in accordance with Security Requirements)
  2. Travel requirements
    • The Supplier is encouraged to use video and/or teleconferencing where possible to cut down unnecessary travel
    • Use of Properties with Environmental Ratings: Contractors to the Government of Canada may access the PWGSC Accommodation directory, which includes Eco-Rated properties. When searching for accommodation, contractors can go to that link and search for properties with Environmental Ratings, identified by Green Keys or Green Leafs that will honour the pricing for contractors
    • Use of public/green transit where feasible
  3. Net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
    Canada is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 in an effort to position Canada for success in a green economy and to mitigate climate change impacts. As a result, future solicitations may include the following:
    1. there may be evaluation criteria or other instructions in the solicitation or contract documents related to measuring and disclosing your company’s GHG emissions
    2. you may be requested or required to join one of the following initiatives to submit a bid, offer or arrangement or if you are awarded the contract:
      • Canada’s Net-Zero Challenge
      • the United Nations Race to Zero
      • the Science-based Targets Initiative
      • the Carbon Disclosure Project
      • the International Organization for Standardization
    3. you may be required to provide other evidence of your company’s commitment and actions toward meeting net zero targets by 2050

14. Insurance Requirement

15. Travel and Living – Resulting contracts

The Travel and Living expenses are calculated differently between the Regions and Metropolitan areas and this may affect the total cost of a professional services contract as a result of a bid solicitation under the Supply Arrangement. Accordingly, if any contract resulting from a solicitation under this Supply Arrangement permits payment to a Contractor in its Basis of Payment for Travel and Living expenses, such expense will only be reimbursed in accordance with the information provided on the Supply Arrangement Travel and Living Information web page of the CPSS website.

16. Regions and Metropolitan Areas

Definitions of the Remote/ Virtual Zone, Regions and Metropolitan Areas are incorporated by reference into this supply arrangement, with the exception that for the purposes of this Supply Arrangement, the Remote / Virtual Access is to be considered as another Region.

The following Regions and Metropolitan areas may receive professional services under this Supply Arrangement where a Supplier is qualified to do so:

Regions: Metropolitan Areas

17. Proactive Disclosure of Contracts with Former Public Servants (if applicable)

By providing information on its status, with respect to being a former public servant in receipt of a Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA) pension, the Contractor has agreed that this information will be reported on departmental websites as part of the published proactive disclosure reports, in accordance with Contracting Policy Notice: 2019:01 of the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada.

18. Use of an e-Procurement Solution

PSPC is now using an e-procurement solution (EPS). TBIPS has transitioned to this system and will now use it to award and amend SAs. It is mandatory that potential bidders and existing suppliers register for an ARIBA account at the following link: How to register your business. Please note that the Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) will remain active for bidders to submit their bid, suppliers to manage their account as well as access the reporting function. 

If the Supplier chooses not to fully register, with a validated ‘Business Number’ the Supply Arrangement may be set aside by Canada.

Both methods of selection require that a notice of proposed procurement (NPP) be published simultaneously on CanadaBuys with the issuance of the invitation to suppliers.

Canada may consolidate requirements across Clients and award Contracts on a periodic basis to receive best or better pricing.

2.2 Identification of Contract Authorities

Provided a Client has the legal authority to contract, it may choose to award contracts under this SA in accordance with the Tier 1 or Tier 2 Requirement Limitations described below. All contracts for clients without authority to contract under Tier 1 or Tier 2 will be managed by PWGSC.

The Supplier agrees only to perform individual contracts made by an authorized representative of Canada pursuant to this SA that do not exceed the applicable Contract Authority value limitations.

Tier 1: Requirements whose value is equal to or greater than the CKFTA threshold up to and including $3.75M: Client or PWGSC

Tier 2: Requirements greater than $3.75M: PWGSC and any other department that may have this delegation.

2.3 Tier 1 Requirement Limitations

Clients may award contracts to Suppliers qualified in the applicable Categories only in accordance with the following:

i. Requirements below the Canada Korea Free Trade Agreement

There is no limit to the maximum number of Suppliers that may be invited to submit a proposal under Tier 1. Suppliers may not submit a proposal in response to a solicitation unless they have been invited to do so.

However, should an uninvited SA Holder wish to be invited, it may contact the Contracting Authority to request an invitation at any time prior to five days before the published bid closing date. The Contracting Authority will confirm whether or not the supplier appears on the CPSS Search Filtering list. An invitation will be made to that SA Holder unless it would not be consistent with the efficient operation of the procurement process.

In no circumstance will such an invitation require Canada to extend a bid closing date. Where additional invitations are made during the solicitation process, they may not be reflected in a bid solicitation amendment

iv. Minimum Period to submit proposal

Each Tier 1 bid solicitation issued will provide Suppliers with a minimum of fifteen calendar days to submit their proposal, which may be extended based upon a requirement’s complexity.

PWGSC reserves the right to decrease the minimum period for specific requirements. These requests must be in writing and sent to the SA Authority for approval.
