Submissions shall be determined by the
E-Procurement System web clock. Late submissions will not be accepted
and will be disqualified.
Vendors are cautioned that the timing of submission is based on when the
Submission is received by the E-Procurement System, not when a
Submission is submitted by a Vendor. As transmission can be delayed due
to file transfer size, transmission speed, or other technical factors,
Vendors should plan to submit Submissions well in advance of the
Submission Deadline to avoid submitting late due to technical issues.
Vendors submitting near the Submission Deadline do so at their own risk.
The E-Procurement System will send a confirmation email to the Vendor
advising when the Submission was submitted successfully. If you do not
receive a confirmation email, contact the E-Procurement System#s
technical support immediately.
VENDOR MUST BE SINGLE ENTITY
The Vendor must be a single legal entity that, if selected, intends to
enter into the Contract with Manitoba. If the Submission is being
submitted jointly by two (2) or more
separate entities, the Submission must identify only one (1) of those
entities as the #Vendor#. If the Vendor intends to subcontract
components of the Deliverables to other
entities, the Submission should indicate this intention and should
identify and provide relevant information in respect of the proposed
subcontractors for the purposes of evaluation. The Vendor will be
responsible for the performance of the Deliverables.
TYPE AND TERM OF CONTRACT
The selected Vendor will be requested to enter into a contract for the
provision of the Deliverables on the terms and conditions set out in the
