The table below lists some of the notable events in the history of the TSPS method of supply:

Date	Event description
August 31, 2017 Latest update	Refresh period 1 will close to bidding on September 29, 2017. Refresh periods allow new suppliers to bid for a task-based or solutions-based supply arrangement, or for existing suppliers to bid for additional streams, categories or regions to supply arrangements they already have.
May 16, 2017	The results of TSPS’s 2016 re-competition were awarded on May 16, 2017.

All previous TSPS Supply Arrangements and Standing Offers awarded under series numbers E60ZN-15TSPS, E60ZN-15TSSB, and E60ZN-15TSSO have now been set aside.
February 17, 2017	As the evaluation of 2016 re-competition may take longer than its current March 31, 2017 deadline, amendments to all existing supply arrangements and standing offers have been issued, extending them for a period of three additional months, until June 30, 2017.
