Solicitation no. 1000334911
description of requirement
the purpose of the scientific research and experimental development (sr&ed) program is to provide tax credits on a timely basis to canadian businesses that undertake sr&ed work in canada as defined by the income tax act. Tax credits are either non-refundable or refundable.
Cra is seeking to establish a supply arrangement to maintain a list of pre-qualified consultants.
The cra requires the services of qualified consultants on an "as and when requested" basis, authorized through individual contracts, to provide technical expertise and advice:
on the eligibility of work claimed under the sr&ed program; or
b) on cases where a notice of objection (noo), a formal objection of a notice of assessment, has been received.
The rfsa is not in itself a contract but rather, establishes the framework for entering into a contract, and includes a minimum set of terms and conditions which would apply to any resulting contract.
The supplier agrees to provide to cra, upon the terms and conditions set out in the rfsa, such services and deliverables as may be identified in individual contracts entered into from time to time between the cra and consultant`s pursuant to the provisions of this arrangement and at or below the rates established herein.
The supplier must demonstrate that each proposed consultant has the minimum required hours, within the last 10 years, of professional hands-on experience for the scientific/technical field for which they are being proposed.
Minimum required hours of experience are defined as follows:
a) one scientific/technical field of experience: minimum of 3, 600 hours
b) more than one area of scientific/technical field of expertise: a minimum of 3, 600 hours of experience per field, with a minimum total of 7, 200 hours.
If the hours listed in any single field are less than 3, 600 hours, those hours will not be considered for the purposes of determining total experience.
Suppliers can submit an arrangement for one or more scientific/technical fields, however the consultant must meet all technical criteria within the scientific/technical field(s) for which they are submitting a arrangement.
Location
work required under any resulting contract will be performed at various cra locations across canada and at the consultant`s site. Consultants may identify geographical areas of work when submitting their arrangement.
