GETS is the federal government's vehicle for advertising government procurement opportunities subject to the trade agreements and PWGSC's open bidding objectives.
As of June 18, 2005 , the electronic distribution
of construction drawings and specifications, such as
blueprints will be enabled through the Government Electronic
Tendering Service (GETS), which is provided by MERX
TM (www.merx.com).
The EDCDS solution will offer several features, including
the use of industry recognized file naming conventions
and directory structure. EDCDS will permit buyers to
send large-sized electronic files and will reduce the
cost associated with distributing construction solicitation
packages.
The supplier community will benefit from EDCDS as
it will enable wider distribution of construction solicitation
packages. Features for suppliers include the ability
to preview electronic versions of blueprints and specifications,
and to download electronic blueprint/specification files
– both free of charge.
Access to the EDCDS Solution and additional information,
including how to register with MERX can be found at:
