Canada : Canada Government initiates open competition for AOPS and JSS in-service support contract

Publish Date : 28-Jul-2016

The government of Canada has come up with an open competition for the in-service support contract for the Royal Canadian Navys (RCN) Arctic offshore patrol ships (AOPS) and joint support ships (JSS).

Contracts for AOPS and JSS will be combined under a single contractor in the competition. This decision forms part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy and follows extensive industry consultation.

Apart from supporting Canadas shipbuilding industry and increase workforce stability, this contract will also provide value to Canadian taxpayers by reducing costs through economies of scale.

As per the single ship support contract, the government targets to procure in-service support, to include refit, repair and maintenance and training for the AOPS and JSS. The AJISS contract comes with an initial eight yearperformance period with an option of extending it to 35 years through an open and a competitive process.

Canadian Public Services and Procurement Minister Judy M Foote said, The Arctic offshore patrol ships and joint support ships in-service support contract will provide work for the Canadian marine industry for the next 35 years.

Our government is creating stable middle-class jobs and generating economic growth from coast to coast to coast.

At the same time, we are seeking new ways to make procurement work better for businesses and Canadians, in this case by having one support contract for both ships.
