Description

McMaster University invites prospective suppliers to submit Proposals to this Request for Supplier Qualification (RFSQ) for the provision of Management Consulting Services on an as-and-when-required basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of this RFSQ document. The purpose of this RFSQ is to establish a list of qualified suppliers, commonly known as a Vendor of Record (VOR) list.

Scope/Objective

Listed below are the six (6) service categories included in this VOR arrangement. Refer to Section 5: Rated Criteria Submission Requirements for individual descriptions of each service category:

Business Metrics, Performance Management and Process Improvement Services;
Business Process Assessment and Integration Services;
Organizational Effectiveness and Transformation Services;
Program Management Services;
Project Management, Assurance and Review Services;
Strategic Management and Planning Services.

The University intends to award and enter into contracts with multiple Preferred Proponents if selected following a second-stage procurement process. At its sole and absolute discretion, the University reserves the right to procure the Services by other means, and may contract with or purchase from suppliers other than a Preferred Proponent for the same or similar services to those described in this RFSQ.
The University makes no guarantee of the value or volume of work that a Preferred Proponent may receive under a Contract. The value and volume of the Services, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including annual budgetary approvals.
