About

Shared Services Canada is seeking a supplier for maintenance and support services for IBM IIAS M4002 Appliances (EOL), or equivalent, for delivery to a location in Ottawa, Ontario. The contract covers an initial period from the contract award date up to and including September 30, 2027, with two additional one-year option periods that Canada may choose to exercise. This solicitation is open to Canadian suppliers and suppliers of an Applicable Trading Partner under the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement; bids must comply with all solicitation requirements, submit pricing in accordance with Annex A – List of Deliverables and Pricing, and the responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award while the Crown retains the right to negotiate. Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada, and suppliers are required to submit bids electronically using the Contracting Authority’s email (faxed and hard copy submissions are not accepted except in exceptional circumstances). Refer to the Request for Quotations for mandatory criteria, evaluation criteria and full details.

Insight

This could be ideal for IT maintenance firms experienced supporting IBM IIAS M4002 hardware or end-of-life appliance support, or suppliers offering equivalent maintenance services who can deliver to Ottawa. Key considerations include managing EOL equipment support and parts availability, strict compliance with solicitation and pricing requirements (Annex A), mandatory electronic submission, and the contract timeline through Sept 30, 2027 with two optional one-year extensions.
