Task and solutions professional services

Task and solutions professional services (TSPS) consists of 2 mandatory methods of supply, task-based and solution-based. These methods of supply allow client departments to solicit competitive bids from a pool of pre-qualified supply arrangement (SA) holders for non-informatics professional services requirements.

Task-based methods of supply

Client departments can use the TSPS task-based supply arrangements (SAs) via the method of supply for non-information technology (IT) requirements valued at or above the Canada Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) threshold. All requirements below the CKFTA threshold must be done by using the ProServices method of supply.
