Summary of Feedback and Outcomes Report to LOI T8056-160026/A

On 30 January 2017, PWGSC published a Letter of Interest (LOI) on the GETS seeking to engage with Industry on behalf of Transport Canada (TC). As part of that engagement, Industry was asked to provide a written response to questions related to both the technical aspects of the Work to be undertaken and the procurement strategy. A draft Request for Proposal (RFP) was provided, which included the Statement of Work, Evaluation Criteria and the Basis of Selection. 

The purpose of the Industry Engagement was threefold:

a) to provide Industry with general information about the requirement;

b) to solicit feedback from Industry about their capability to undertake the requirement based on the draft Request for Proposal; and,

c) to consult with Industry on ways to improve the solicitation, and increase accessibility and fairness to all potential suppliers.

Industry was encouraged to ask questions and provide comments with the objective of ensuring a procurement that is fair and transparent to suppliers, enhances competition, and results in best value to Canada.

The publication of this document and resulting RFP effectively concludes the Industry Engagement process. The information gathered through this process was considered when finalizing the procurement strategy and should meet the needs of the Government of Canada and be compatible with Industry standard practices.
