List of Interested Suppliers for Web Graphics Designer (19-149688)

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of the Government of Canada, is making available to businesses the ability to optionally self-identify their interest in a specific tender notice through the List of Interested Suppliers (LIS). Businesses can provide their contact information to signal to other businesses their interest in a specific active tender notice on Buyandsell.gc.ca. Their contact information is published on the associated LIS and is available publicly to any individual who visits Buyandsell.gc.ca.

The LIS service is only available on Buyandsell.gc.ca and only reflects the interest of suppliers who have viewed tenders on this site. A LIS does not capture any expressed interest by suppliers who may have viewed the Government of Canada tender as redistributed information by a third-party service provider (such as MERX, biddingo, etc.). A LIS does not form part of the official tender solicitation package, and therefore is not available as part of the open tender data file. Once the tender closing date has passed, the LIS is closed but will still remain visible for reference. No new contacts can be added to or removed from the LIS for an expired tender notice. The LIS will be unpublished when the tender notice is archived (i.e. the tender is cancelled or awarded).

The LIS for a specific tender notice does not replace or affect the tendering procedures in place for the procurement. Businesses are still required to respond to bid solicitations and to compete based on established bid criteria. PWGSC makes no representations about the accuracy of the information contained in the LIS and is not responsible for the re-use of information contained in the LIS by other external organizations or entities.

Participation in the List of Interested Suppliers

PWGSC, on behalf of the Government of Canada, manages the List of Interested Suppliers and considers free self-identifying on the LIS an opportunity for businesses to increase networking or partnering opportunities. Participation in the LIS for each individual tender notice is open to all businesses, subject to the limitations set out below:

1. PWGSC reserves the right to exclude from the LIS businesses that provide or are likely to provide sexually exploitative or sexually explicit entertainment, products or services;
2. PWGSC reserves the right to exclude businesses that market products or services that are illegal or restrained by court order (e.g., court order regarding the right of a company to use a trademark);
3. PWGSC reserves the right to exclude or to remove from the LIS businesses that misrepresent the company name or first and last name fields and / or include superfluous marketing material; and
4. PWGSC reserves the right to exclude or to remove from the LIS businesses that may be or whose activities may be inconsistent with or in non-compliance with federal or provincial legislation, policies or programs.

The self-identified businesses acknowledge and agree that PWGSC reserves the right to remove a business from the LIS at PWGSC sole discretion and without notice.

Requesting removal from the List of Interested Suppliers

Businesses may only request that their business name and contact information be removed from the LIS while the associated tender is "active". Once the tender closing date has passed, the LIS is closed but will still remain visible for reference. No new contacts can be added to or removed from the LIS for an expired tender notice. Once the associated tender has been "cancelled" or is "awarded", businesses may not be removed from the LIS. The LIS will be unpublished when the tender notice is archived (i.e. the tender is cancelled or awarded). Archived information cannot be altered or updated according to Government of Canada standards.

Businesses complete an online form to submit their information to join the LIS for a specific tender. When the form is submitted businesses receive a confirmation email containing a link to verify their email and to publish their information on the LIS for a specific tender. This email also contains a link that businesses use to remove their name from the LIS. Businesses are advised to retain this email should they wish to remove their name from the LIS at a later date.

If businesses no longer have the original confirmation email, they should contact the OSME-SE national InfoLine at 1-800-811-1148. The line is staffed Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 17:00 Eastern Standard/Daylight time.

Accuracy of information

The information is provided by businesses on a voluntary basis. PWGSC is not responsible for the accuracy or the reliability of the contents contained in any of the LIS. The accuracy and reliability of the information contained in an active LIS are the sole responsibility of the self-identified businesses. It is the responsibility of the business to ensure the accuracy of their contact information contained in an active LIS.

To update contact information on an active LIS for a specific active tender, businesses must remove their existing record and use the online submission form to create a new record with the new information.
