Canada - Mailing equipment rental and purchase of consumables

Description

PUBLICATION NOTICE

PRICE-BASED TENDER

The Sous-ministériat des services de justice et des registres (SMSJR), through the Direction du Bureau de la sous-ministre associée et des mandats spéciaux (DBSMAMS) of the SMSJR, intends to issue a public call for tenders for the rental of franking equipment and the purchase of consumables to operate said equipment. The Ministère de la Justice (MJQ) needs to lease new franking equipment, as the equipment currently in place in the courthouse network was supplied under the Revenu Québec contract. The equipment currently installed will be recovered at the end of September 2024.

As a result, the MJQ must undertake its own public tendering process to meet the courthouses' postal operations needs.

OBTAINING TENDER DOCUMENTS

Tender documents are available from the Système électronique d'appel d'offres (SEAO). For further information, please contact the Department of Justice at the following e-mail address: service.contrats@justice.gouv.qc.ca.
