GENERAL INFORMATION

This RFI is not an acquisition process and is not in direct support of any government procurement. Exchanges with consulted organizations will cease before the commencement of formal procurement activities. The assurance of open, fair and transparent procurement processes is imperative for both government and potential contractors; the demarcation between this "information gathering" initiative and any formal procurement process is clearly defined and implemented to ensure no conflicts between the two.

This RFI shall not be construed to be a Request For Proposal (RFP) and no agreement/contract will be entered into with/awarded to any vendor based on responses to this RFI, and it shall in no way be considered as authorization by Canada for vendors to undertake any work.

Once they have been received, the documents will become the property of Canada.
