Tender: PSPC RFI: Modernization of Government Professional Services Methods of Supply

About

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is seeking feedback from industry on modernizing its government‑wide methods of supply for professional services by developing a new procurement framework intended to streamline the existing procurement landscape, reduce administrative burden, improve flexibility and better align procurement approaches with different service‑delivery requirements. The proposed framework is expected to replace current instruments including Task‑Based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS), Solutions‑Based Informatics Professional Services (SBIPS), Task and Solutions Professional Services (TSPS), ProServices, Temporary Help Services (THS) and Professional Audit Support Services (PASS), and introduces four new methods of supply: Temporary Replacement Services (TRS), Client‑Directed Support Services (CDSS), Client‑Directed Deliverable Services (CDDS) and Offeror‑Managed Services (OMS), which differ primarily in the degree of client direction, offeror control and accountability, responsibility for managing resources and delivery, and allocation of performance and financial risk. Phase 1 responses on the new methods of supply structure and tiering model are due October 22, 2026, the RFI closes March 2027, and responses and questions must be submitted to SPAC.DGPAModernisationMA-APBMoSModernization.PSPC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca with proprietary or third‑party information clearly identified.
