Building Mechanical Maintenance Services, Iqaluit HQ & Hangar, Iqaluit, NU

Bidders are requested to maximize Inuit employment, subcontracting and on-the-job training opportunities, and involve Inuit businesses, in carrying out the work under this project.

The Nunavut Agreement contains a provision requiring the inclusion of socio-economic bid criteria in the solicitation document, when practicable and consistent with sound procurement management principles. These socio-economic bid criteria are referred to as Nunavut Benefits Criteria (NBC) and Inuit Benefits Criteria (IBC), and bidders propose Inuit benefits in their bid submission via an Inuit Benefits Plan (IBP).

This solicitation is limited for bidding among firms registered on the Inuit Firm Registry (IFR). Bids submitted by businesses not on the IFR will render the bid non-responsive and no further consideration will be accorded to the bid.

Delivery Date: The contract period will be for 2 years from the date of contract with an irrevocable option to extend it for up to two additional one-year periods.

Security: This requirement contains a security requirement.

Basis of selection: A bid must comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation and meet all mandatory criteria, including being registered on the Inuit Firm Registry (IFR). Bids not meeting the requirements will be declared non-responsive. The selection will be based on the highest responsive combined rating of total Inuit Benefits Plan (IBP) merit, and price. The ratio will be 30% for the total IBP merit, and 70% for price.

Indigenous Procurement:

The federal Indigenous Business Directory (IBD) is an online resource for all levels of government and the private sector to identify Indigenous business capacity. Having a business profile in the IBD will increase your company’s visibility and may provide additional business. A profile in the IBD can also allow you to compete for federal government contracts that are set-aside for Indigenous businesses through the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Businesses.
