IT Security Professional Services Under the Task-Based Services Supply Arrangement

Public Safety Canada requires task-based IT professional services to complete defined security assessment, authorization, architecture, testing, remediation-validation and incident-readiness packages for identified departmental systems, applications, cloud services, networks and technology initiatives. The Contractor will manage its personnel and methods of work and will remain responsible for producing complete and accepted deliverables. PS will identify systems, owners, security requirements and decision authorities; provide authorized access and available evidence; make risk decisions; and accept or reject deliverables. Contractor personnel will not be directed as employees of Canada. The Contractor must be capable of mobilizing and managing sufficient qualified resources to perform multiple concurrent Task Authorizations, where authorized by PS, without compromising agreed schedules, deliverable quality, required independence or security requirements. Only selected TBIPS SA Holders currently holding a TBIPS SA for Tier 1 in the National Capital Region under the EN578-170432 series of SAs are invited to compete. SA Holders may not submit a bid in response to this bid 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 business days before the published bid closing date, and an invitation will be made to that SA Holder unless it would not be consistent with the efficient operation of the procurement system. In no circumstance will such an invitation require Canada to extend a bid closing date. Where additional invitations are made during the bid solicitation process, it may be that they are not reflected in a bid solicitation amendment.
