Contracting for Services

Eligibility Criteria

Summary

The end users do the majority of service contracting: Special Operating Agencies (SOAs), individual departments and Crown corporations. Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) only contracts for a portion of all services bought from the private sector by the federal government.

In PWGSC, most competitive service opportunities valued at $25,000 or more are advertised electronically on MERX^TM (electronic tendering service) as Notices of Proposed Procurement (NPPs), including requirements subject to international trade agreements. Printing service requirements over $10,000 are also advertised on MERX^TM .

Requirements worth $89,000 or more for architectural and engineering services and services related to real property are posted as NPPs on MERX^TM. Construction requirements worth $100,000 or more are also posted as NPPs on MERX^TM .

MERX^TM  - Electronic Tendering Service posts requirements for expressions of interest from suppliers to carry out specific projects. MERX^TM also provides information on companies that have requested bid documents. This information can be used by would-be bidders to seek alliance, partnership, or joint venture opportunities.

• Industrial and Commercial Products;
