REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - AECL

The saga continues: https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tender-notice/PW-ZG-411-26264 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - AECL: "1.1. The Government of Canada (Canada) is intending to procure the services of a contractor to manage the operations of what are today known as Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's (AECL's) NuclearLaboratories under a Government-owned and Contractor-operated (GoCo) model. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input and feedback from industry on various elements of the proposed procurement process, which is described in more detail below. Specifically, the objectives of this RFI are to:
(a) inform suppliers about the proposed procurement process, along with the associated timelines and national security requirements and to solicit feedback on any aspect of the procurement process;
(b) solicit feedback on the draft mandatory technical criteria to be used to pre-qualify suppliers during the Request for Response Evaluation (RFRE) pre-screening and industry detailed consultation stage; and,
(c) provide information on security clearance requirements so
as to solicit feedback on these items and prompt suppliers to initiate security clearance processes if required.
1.2. This RFI will also be used to seek input on the scope and interest of suppliers in participating in a broader nuclear innovation agenda.
1.3. To facilitate feedback on these, and other relevant topics,
several specific questions are provided in Appendix B. To support informed feedback, draft elements of the RFRE pre-qualification document are provided in Appendix A.
1.4. Finally, given the amount of time that Canada has allotted for the procurement process, suppliers are encouraged to begin preparing to meet the security requirements for the future solicitation, including for example initiating any security clearance processes that are required."
