Multi-departmental software contracts
Multi-departmental software contracts (MDSC) are made available to government users only due to the commercial confidential nature of the documents.
All sole source commercial off the shelf software requirements valued over $2 million (Goods and Services Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) included) currently require a Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) submission for approval and all sole source requirement valued over $1 million up to $2 million (GST/HST included) require Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Minister approval. As a result clients and potential contractors must factor this into consideration. The client must ensure that their approved funded requisition is submitted to PSPC Software and Software Procurement Directorate a minimum of 6 months in advance for TBS approval and 3 months in advance for PSPC Minister approval.
For several years, when competitively procuring software solutions and related systems, the Acquisitions Branch of PSPC has included the potential for other departments and agencies to acquire the same or similar (in scope) requirements. This has been done to leverage the government’s purchasing power.
As these instruments have matured, PSPC wants to ensure that we are evolving our procurement practices to continue to deliver excellent value to departments and agencies. In the course of the daily workload, MDSC can provide significant value to organizations in both the solutions they offer and to the ease of procurement.
Therefore we want to ensure clarity as to the application of these MDSC.
- Departments and agencies are required to use these multi-departmental contracts if and only if they meet that organization’s business requirements
- These contracts do not constitute “standards” that departments and agencies must conform to. Only the TBS can establish a standard. At this time, the only TBS declared standards are: Systems, Applications and Products (SAP) for financial and materiel management systems, PeopleSoft for human resources management systems, and OpenText for GCDocs
- If there are any questions about marketing information provided by software vendors to employees about one or more of the noted MDSC below, please contact the noted procurement officer in the web link below
In our role as procurement authority, the Acquisitions Branch of PSPC will review client’s requests for leveraging MDSC to determine if they can be used in individual cases. Additionally, when a client’s software procurement requirement is submitted that could be leveraged as a MDSC, PSPC will contact TBS Chief Information Officer Branch and the client department or agency to conduct an assessment with our support.
