Thank you very much.
It was an expedited process, but we managed to keep the process as open as possible. We started with a request for information and had 38 respondents. They submitted information. Not all of those respondents submitted full proposals. Some just indicated the skills they could provide.
Based on that, we did an evaluation of the 38, and we did what we would call a targeted tender to five of those proposals. What we did see was a lot of the different proposals. They put their names on the Buyandsell.gc.ca website and ended up joining some of the other bidders as they went through the process.
In the end we did have five people participate in the structured tender process.
