Network Solutions Procurement Vehicle (NSPV)

Summary

Shared Services Canada (SSC) is issuing this Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) as Phase 1 and 2 of a multi-phase Network Solutions Procurement Vehicle (NSPV) to establish a Secure Supplier Ecosystem (SSE) of qualified vendors for network technology, integration services, and solutions. The NSPV is intended to streamline procurement and enable rapid response to evolving network requirements across SSC and partner government departments. This is not a bid solicitation but rather a pre-qualification process that will result in a list of Qualified Respondents (QRs) who may subsequently be invited to bid on Phase 3 (optional, project-specific) and Phase 4 (competitive solicitation) requirements. The process emphasizes agile procurement methodologies, innovation, security compliance, Indigenous participation, and sustainability. Only respondents who meet mandatory Phase 1 requirements and achieve a minimum Phase 2 presentation score will be pre-qualified for future NSPV opportunities.
