The Contractor must obtain from its employee(s) or subcontractor(s) the completed and signed non-
disclosure agreement, attached at Annex “F”, and provide it to the Technical Authority before they are

1. epost Connect :

TPSGC.RAReceptionSoumissionsNE-ARBidReceivingNS.PWGSC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca

Note: Bids will not be accepted if emailed directly to this email address. This email address is to be used
to open an epost Connect conversation, as detailed in Standard Instructions 2003, or to send bids
through an epost Connect message if the bidder is using its own licensing agreement for epost Connect.

2. Via Facsimile :

Facsimile number: 902-496-5016

2.3 Enquiries - Bid Solicitation

All enquiries must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Authority no later than 5 calendar days
before the bid closing date. Enquiries received after that time may not be answered.

Bidders should reference as accurately as possible the numbered item of the bid solicitation to which the
enquiry relates. Care should be taken by Bidders to explain each question in sufficient detail in order to
enable Canada to provide an accurate answer. Technical enquiries that are of a proprietary nature must
be clearly marked "proprietary" at each relevant item. Items identified as "proprietary" will be treated as
such except where Canada determines that the enquiry is not of a proprietary nature. Canada may edit
the question(s) or may request that the Bidder do so, so that the proprietary nature of the question(s) is
eliminated, and the enquiry can be answered to all Bidders. Enquiries not submitted in a form that can be
distributed to all Bidders may not be answered by Canada.

2.4 Applicable Laws

Any resulting contract must be interpreted and governed, and the relations between the parties
determined, by the laws in force in Nova Scotia.

Bidders may, at their discretion, substitute the applicable laws of a Canadian province or territory of their
choice without affecting the validity of their bid, by deleting the name of the Canadian province or territory
specified and inserting the name of the Canadian province or territory of their choice. If no change is
made, it acknowledges that the applicable laws specified are acceptable to the Bidders.

2.5 Bid Challenge and Recourse Mechanisms

(a) Several mechanisms are available to potential suppliers to challenge aspects of the procurement
process up to and including contract award.

(b) Canada encourages suppliers to first bring their concerns to the attention of the Contracting
Authority. Canada’s Buy and Sell website, under the heading “Bid Challenge and Recourse
Mechanisms” contains information on potential complaint bodies such as:

• Office of the Procurement Ombudsman (OPO)

• Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT)

T2012-20-0177 HAL-1-87002

(c) Suppliers should note that there are strict deadlines for filing complaints, and the time periods vary
depending on the complaint body in question. Suppliers should therefore act quickly when they want
to challenge any aspect of the procurement process.
