Description

***Amendment 002 has been issued, bid closing date has been extended***

***Amendment 001 has been posted***

This document is an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) pertaining to Canada’s initiative to provide the Cyber Authentication Service (Cyber Auth) for SSC’s Clients in order to reduce costs and enhance program delivery to Canadian citizens and businesses. The objective of the ITQ is to qualify additional Respondents who have experience in implementing and operating a Cyber Authentication Service.

This ITQ is neither a request for proposal (RFP) nor a solicitation of bids or tenders; its purpose is to identify those Respondents that possess the qualifications required by SSC for participation in the next phase of the procurement process for the Cyber Authentication Service. No contract will result from this ITQ. Canada reserves the right to cancel this procurement at any time during the ITQ phase or any other phase of the procurement process. Given that this ITQ may be cancelled by Canada in part or in its entirety, it may not result in any of the subsequent procurement processes described in this solicitation. Respondents may withdraw from the ITQ process at any time.

Furthermore, as the Respondents from the previous ITQ (10688/A) have been advised, IBM, 2Keys and Simeio Solutions were all qualified pursuants to the ITQ which closed on February 9, 2017. This additional qualification round is sought to obtain additional Qualified Respondents. IBM, 2Keys and Simeio Solutions are deemed by SSC to have qualified under this ITQ, unless they advise SSC in writing that they no longer wish to participate in the Cyber Authentication Service procurement process. As a result, IBM, 2Keys and Simeio Solutions are NOT required to submit a response to this ITQ, but will be identified as Qualified Respondents for the purposes of future phases of the Cyber Authentication Service procurement.

This ITQ represents the first phase of the procurement process for the Cyber Authentication Service requirements. An overview of the procurement process can be found in Part 3 - Procurement Process.
