Description

NLHS is seeking proposals on Innovation Partnerships as listed in accordance with the description and specifications as set out in Schedule “A”. This will establish a new list of vendors of record that was created by NLHS in 2018/2019 and refreshed in October 2023 and 2024. Only vendors of record who have been pre-qualified under this RFSQ will be eligible to participate in the resulting innovation related opportunities.

The RFSQ will not directly result in a contract or any other legally binding obligation(s) as its sole intent is to establish a vendor pool for upcoming or future innovation opportunities. Once the vendor pool is established, separate proposal opportunities will be initiated which will ultimately select preferred bidder(s) to enter into contract negotiations.

This will be in accordance with the specifications and requirements set out in this RFSQ, as well as the Public Procurement Act.

A minimum of 3 partners will be selected in each of the following categories:
•        BioPharma
•        MedTech
•        Professional Consulting
•        Local Organizations
