July 2013 – Update on THS Renewal

As a result of the recent THS solicitation process which closed on April 16, 2013, all THS Standing Offers (SO) and Supply Arrangements (SA) have been revised to incorporate new terms and conditions which include the revised Code of Conduct Integrity Measures as announced on November 9, 2012.

Effective July 1, 2013, only active THS suppliers that have been deemed compliant to the Code of Conduct will be listed and appear on the search results generated by the THS Online System.

Overview

Temporary help services (THS), are services that are provided by the resources of temporary help firms. The THS On-Line System is an on-line procurement tool designed to assist Federal Departments in the National Capital Area, in their procurement of temporary help services up to $400,000 (which includes all subsequent amendments, travel/living expenses, overtime and GST/HST) or 48 consecutive weeks, whichever comes first. A call-up/contract can be extended by an additional 24 consecutive weeks but must have the prior approval of PWGSC.
