Description

1.1 Background and Purpose

McMaster University invites prospective suppliers to submit Proposals to this RFSQ for the supply of Engineering Technology: Equipment, Supplies & Software on an as-and-when required basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of this RFSQ document. The purpose of this RFSQ is to establish a list of qualified suppliers, commonly known as a Vendors of Record. This includes but is not limited to the following Engineering disciplines:

Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering & Bioengineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Engineering Physics
Materials Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics Engineering
Software Engineering

Proponents must quote on the entire Deliverables. Partial Proposals will not be accepted.

1.2 Scope/Objective

The primary goal of the Vendor of Record List is to enhance and increase availability and efficiency of the University’s Engineering-related technology by:

Offering state-of-the-art technology (hardware and software) that improves the teaching and learning experience;
Establishing strong partnerships with suppliers that have high-quality products and high standards of customer service and support.

The University intends to award and enter into a Contract with multiple Preferred Proponents. Notwithstanding the intent of the University to procure most of the Goods or Services from the Successful Proponent(s), if any, based on this RFSQ, the Contract is not an exclusive one. At its sole and absolute discretion, the University reserves the right to procure the Goods or Services by other means, and may contract with or purchase from suppliers other than a Successful Proponent for the same or similar services to those described in this RFSQ.

The University makes no guarantee of the value or volume of work that a Successful Proponent may receive under the Contract. The value and volume of the Goods or Services, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including annual budgetary approvals.

Only Successful Proponents on the Vendor of Record List will receive notices from the University with respect to second-stage assignments for the required Goods or Services, in accordance with the University’s Procurement Policy, which may limit the number of Successful Proponents invited to a second-stage competitive procurement process.

The maximum value or “ceiling price” for any individual second-stage procurement arising out of the Vendor of Record List is $100,000. Proponents acknowledge that if the University requires the Goods or Services for a procurement that is in excess of such value, the University will be required to procure the Goods or Services through an open competitive process.

The University may, in its sole discretion, update the Vendor of Record List by deleting suppliers who cease to meet the requirements of the University in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract.

1.3 Term

Once established, the Term of the Vendor of Record List will be for a period of three (3) years, with no options to extend.
