BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Centre de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries (CSSDGS) is seeking to award a contract for the acquisition and implementation of a project and project portfolio management solution.

CONTRACT DURATION
The contract begins on the award date in June 2024 and the solution must be implemented, compliant and operational by December 2024.

EQUIVALENCE PROPOSAL

Any proposal for equivalence must be sent to the PUBLIC BODY no later than 4:00 p.m. on April 25, 2024. The request must be sufficiently documented for the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION to be able to evaluate it. Only equivalences authorized by Addenda will be considered by the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION when assessing the compliance of Submissions. Any decision as to equivalence is at the sole discretion of the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION.

BID SECURITY

No bid security is required.

MODIFICATIONS RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT - CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
By submitting its bid during the COVID-19 period, the TENDER is aware of the government measures and economic context in effect on the day of submission. It will therefore not be possible for it to invoke these measures as a case of force majeure in order to avoid its obligations.

However, it is possible that additional governmental measures or new unforeseeable events may occur after the contract has been awarded, and thus affect the completion deadlines.

In such a case, the PUBLIC BODY and the SERVICE PROVIDER will negotiate in good faith.

RECEIPT OF BIDS
Bids will be received electronically by SEAO or addressed to the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION when submitted on paper at 1325, rue Industrielle, La Prairie (Québec) J5R 2E4, no later than 11:00 a.m., local time,
May 7, 2024.


As of June 1, 2019, the transmission of the same bid electronically and on paper constitutes the filing of multiple bids and will result in the automatic rejection of all bids so filed. If a SUBMITTER wishes to submit a bid electronically, it must send a single bid via the SEAO. This may no longer be accompanied by a paper bid, on pain of automatic rejection.


OPENING OF BIDS
Bids shall be opened publicly, in the presence of a witness, at the place indicated above, immediately after the time and date set for receipt of Bids. BIDDERS may attend the bid opening in person.

The PUBLIC ORGANIZATION will also broadcast the Bid opening live on the web. Instructions for attending this broadcast are given below:

1- Have access to the Microsoft Teams application;
2- Before the bid opening time, copy and paste the following link into your browser and follow the instructions:
