1.1       Invitation to Respondents

This Request for Supplier Qualifications (“RFSQ”) is an invitation by the Coordinating Entity to prospective respondents to qualify in accordance with Evaluation of Responses (Part 2) for eligibility to provide Master Qualified Roster List for Distribution Services for the Regional Health Authorities of Manitoba as further described in Section A of the RFSQ Particulars (Appendix C) (the “Deliverables”).

The Coordinating Entity, as identified on the cover page, is issuing this RFSQ and administering the RFSQ process on behalf of the Purchaser(s) identified in Section B – Material Disclosures of the RFSQ Particulars (Appendix C).

This RFSQ will identify the minimum criteria for distributors to be selected to move forward to negotiated Master Framework Agreements (MFA) to be included on a roster for as needed distribution services.  Scores from this RFSQ will move forward to a secondary request for quote (RFQ) process requesting discount off line items requiring distribution from roster participants on an as needed basis.  The highest combined scores from RFSQ and RFQs will be awarded the distribution.  Distribution may be awarded by the Purchasers as a whole, or by Regional Health Authority.  Distribution may be required by one or all of the Purchasers as will be defined in the applicable RFQs.  As such, RFQs may be coordinated by any of the Purchasers.
