REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The purpose of this Request for Proposals is to solicit Services in order to purchase equipment for the QIA Nauttiqsuqtiit guardian program across 13 communities in the Qikiqtani region of Nunavut.
QIA is seeking external services to manage and implement the procurement process for equipment and materials that are required for the successful operation of its regional Nauttiqsuqtiit guardian program. Ensuring that guardians have the appropriate equipment to conduct their work is essential; trucks, boats, cabins materials and sea cans are critical to conducting safe and successful programs in the arctic. Getting this equipment to communities requires planning, logistics and project management to ensure that the equipment and materials are purchased and ready for the tight sealift schedule in the arctic.
The successful proponent will be required to coordinate the purchase of the equipment and materials required for each Nauttiqsqutiit program in the Qikiqtani region, in a timely manner to allow for the equipment to be included in the annual sealift to each community.
Proponents should have experience delivering and managing projects of similar scope and complexity. The successful proponent will demonstrate previous experience working in Nunavut, managing procurement in the north and coordinating sealift logistics.
Those interested in applying should send their applications to procuement@qia.ca before April 11th, 2025, 4:00 pm Eastern time. For any questions, please contact Ian McDonald, QIA Asset Manager at procurement@qia.ca.
