I look back at what a national master standing offer is meant for. It's meant to provide a group of services that are commonly purchased in a certain format. I guess I would call it almost a vending machine. There are certain things you can get, and you decide how often you want an item or how many you want. I expect a national master standing offer list would be created through a competitive process instead of a non-competitive process.
While both are allowed under the existing rules, I always default to competition, which should bring about the best value for Canadians. When possible, that process should be run this way. I would like to see that.
I would then hope that PSPC ensures none of the call-ups against those national master standing offers include services outside of the ones allowed for under the offer.
