  Attribution d’un contrat de prolongation de la durée de vie du navire de la Garde côtière canadienne Terry Fox

  Ottawa (Ontario) - Veiller à ce que le personnel de la Garde côtière canadienne dispose de l'équipement dont il a besoin pour maintenir les voies navigables du Canada ouvertes et sécuritaires est une priorité essentielle du gouvernement du Canada. Aujourd'hui, la Garde côtière canadienne (GCC) annonce l'attribution d'un contrat de prolongation de la durée de vie du navire de la Garde côtière canadienne (NGCC) Terry Fox à hauteur de 135,56 millions de dollars. Le navire sera placé en cale sèche et entamera une période d'entretien prolongée destinée à augmenter sa durée de vie opérationnelle. À la suite d'un processus concurrentiel ouvert, Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada, au nom de la GCC, a attribué le contrat à Heddle Shipyards, de St. Catharines, en Ontario, pour effectuer les travaux de prolongation de la durée de vie du NGCC Terry Fox. Le contrat de prolongation de la durée de vie du navire comprend deux phases : une phase d'ingénierie et d'approvisionnement de 14 mois qui préparera le chantier naval pour la deuxième phase, et une période de travail de 18 mois, où le navire sera placé en cale sèche pour le projet de prolongation de sa durée de vie. Grand brise-glace polyvalent, le navire est capable de mener des opérations soutenues dans l'archipel arctique pendant les mois d'été, et des opérations d'escorte de déglaçage dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent et sur la côte est de Terre-Neuve en hiver. Le navire participe également à divers programmes de la GCC, notamment à des missions scientifiques dans l'Arctique. Pendant que le navire fait l'objet de travaux de prolongation de sa durée de vie de la fin de 2023 au printemps 2025, la Garde côtière canadienne réaffectera ses autres ressources maritimes, afin de s'assurer que les voies navigables du Canada continuent d'être sécuritaires pour tous les gens de la mer. Ce contrat s'inscrit dans le cadre du volet des projets de réparation, de radoub et d'entretien de la Stratégie nationale de construction navale, qui contribue à faire en sorte que le Canada dispose d'une flotte de navires sécuritaire et efficace pour servir et protéger les Canadiens dans les années à venir, tout en offrant des possibilités continues aux chantiers navals et aux fournisseurs dans l'ensemble du Canada. https://www.canada.ca/fr/garde-cotiere-canadienne/nouvelles/2022/11/attribution-dun-contrat-de-prolongation-de-la-duree-de-vie-du-navire-de-la-garde-cotiere-canadienne-terry-fox.html

  Canada to accept bids for new fighter jet in May — here are the potential competitors

  By: David Pugliese VICTORIA, British Columbia — Canada expects to accept formal bids for a new fighter jet in May, with the first aircraft delivered by 2025, according to Canadian government procurement officials. A draft bid package for 88 fighters was issued to companies for their feedback by the end of this year, said Pat Finn, assistant deputy minister for materiel at the Department of National Defence. From there, the final bidding instructions for the CA$16 billion (U.S. $12 billion) procurement will be issued and bids required by May 2019, he added. The aircraft will replace Canada's current fleet of CF-18 fighter jets. The aircraft expected to be considered include Lockheed Martin's F-35, the Eurofighter Typhoon, the Dassault Rafale, Saab's Gripen and the Boeing Super Hornet. The Canadian government will require a robust package of guaranteed industrial benefits or offsets from the winning bidder, government officials said. But that could be a problem for the F-35, as Canada is still a partner in that program, which does not guarantee participating-nations contracts. Work on the F-35 program is based on best value and price. Canadian industrial participation in the F-35 program has reached $1 billion, as more than 110 Canadian firms have landed contracts related to the aircraft program. Jeff Waring, director general for industrial benefits policy at the federal Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, said the country sees the fighter jet program as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity for the Canadian economy.” But he noted the industrial benefits policy is flexible. “It is a market-driven approach,” he said. “It encourages suppliers to make investments that make sense to them.” The issue of industrial benefits has already been discussed with companies interested in bidding on the project, and those talks will continue as feedback is received on the draft bid package, government officials said.
