There is a limited number of service providers in Calgary who are willing to provide these specialized services.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:

The Intellectual property arising from this contract will rest with the Crown.

HOW TO RESPOND:

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the Contracting Authority identified on or before Monday, July 21, 2008 at 10:00am (CST).

CONTRACTING AUTHORITY:

Regional Contracting Specialist
Prairie Regional Headquarters
Correctional Service Canada
Telephone:    306-975-8921

The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

Statements of capabilities must be mailed or faxed on or before the closing date. Statements of capabilities received on or before the closing date will be considered solely for the purpose of deciding whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided will be used by the Crown for technical evaluation purposes only and is not to be construed as a competitive solicitation.

Suppliers that have submitted a statement of capabilities will be notified in writing of CSC's decision to continue with the non-competitive procurement or to compete the requirement.

Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting officer identified herein. The CSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.

WHAT IS AN ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN)?

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the competitive requirements of the government's contracting policy have been met. Following notification to suppliers not successful in demonstrating that their statement of capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the Treasury Board's electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit statements of capabilities during the fifteen calendar day posting period, and meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the department or agency must proceed to a full tendering process on either the government's electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.

Estimated value: $25,001 to $50,000
