A note about RFP opportunities
If you are giving serious consideration to contract opportunities
in the federal government as the next step in your career (perhaps
to build on your previous experience in industrial settings), do not
expect a quick fix. It requires considerable effort and patience for
all involved parties.
The Government of Canada posts RFP opportunities in Merx.
Agents like Read Pen, submit bids in response to
these opportunities as part of a competitive process. The government
evaluators work closely with the government Contract Officer to
review the proposals for the best match to their requirements. It is
a time and labour-intensive process for all involved parties.
The evaluators are looking for an exact match, and in the
interest of fairness to all competitors, cannot make inferences
regarding the capabilities of each proposed candidate. You can
expect the evaluation process to take at least 45 to 90 days, or
longer.
If you have concerns regarding a specific requirement, your agent can contact the
Contract Officer and request an amendment to the RFP document or a clarification of the requirement.
