The Department of Foreign Affairs and Development Canada (DFATD) has a requirement to establish a procurement process for the supply and delivery of passenger cars, light trucks or other types of vehicles/vehicles related services to Canadian diplomatic missions and in offices outside of Canada. It will include 170+ destinations in approximately 105 countries covering six (6) distinct regions, such as Europe, Asia & the Pacific, Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean, the Middle East, and North America. The supply and delivery of vehicles and services within Canada is not within the scope of this requirement.

This Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) is the first phase of this procurement process. Suppliers are invited to pre-qualify in accordance with the terms and conditions of this ITQ in order to become Pre-Qualified Suppliers. Only Pre-Qualified Suppliers will be permitted to bid on any subsequent solicitation issued as part of the procurement process.

This ITQ process is not a solicitation of bids or tenders. No contract will be awarded as a result of the activities during the ITQ phase. The issuance of this ITQ is not to be considered in any way a commitment by the Government of Canada (GoC) or as authorization to potential participants to undertake any work, which could be charged to Canada. Canada reserves the right to cancel any of the preliminary requirements included as part of the Project at any time during the ITQ phase or any other phase of the procurement process. Given that the ITQ process may be partially or completely cancelled by Canada, it may not result in any of the subsequent procurement processes described in this document. Respondents and Qualified Respondents may withdraw from the procurement process at any time. Therefore, Respondents who submit a response can choose not to bid on any subsequent solicitation.

Documents and supporting information must be submitted in English or French.
