A supply arrangement is a method of supply used by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to procure goods and services. A supply arrangement is an arrangement between Canada and pre-qualified suppliers that allows identified users to solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of a supply arrangement. A supply arrangement is not a contract for the provision of the goods and services described in it and neither party is legally bound as a result of signing a supply arrangement alone. The intent of a supply arrangement is to establish a framework to permit expeditious processing of individual bid solicitations which result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services described in those bid solicitations.

Except for those procurements where public advertising is not required or used, Requests for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) are posted on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) and suppliers who are interested in responding to individual bid solicitations issued under a supply arrangement framework are invited to submit an arrangement to become pre-qualified suppliers. The list of pre-qualified suppliers will be used as a source list for procurement within the scope of the supply arrangement and only suppliers who are pre-qualified at the time individual bid solicitations are issued will be eligible to bid. Supply arrangements include a set of predetermined conditions that will apply to subsequent bid solicitations and contracts. Supply arrangements may include ceiling prices which may be lowered based on an actual requirement or scope of work described in a bid solicitation.
