The Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to upgrade ports of entry (POEs) under a P3.

CBSA has prioritized the renewal of a subset of its custodial portfolio, consisting of an expected 31 POEs across Canada. Through a single design, build, finance, and maintain (DBFM) P3 contract, Canada intends to procure a private partner to demolish, design, rebuild, and provide maintenance and lifecycle services to the selected POEs.

The purpose of the RFQ is to invite interested parties to submit a response indicating their interest in and qualifications for the project. Based on these Responses, Canada intends to select, in accordance with the terms of this RFQ, a shortlist of up to three proponents to participate in the next stage of the procurement process, namely the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage. 

The deadline for submitting proposals is September, 22. Further information is available here.
