1. Background and purpose of this request for information The Translation Bureau (TB) is a federal institution that is part of the Public Services and Procurement Canada portfolio.

Federal departments and agencies that use the TB’s translation services are submitting an increasing number of documents in non-editable formats, such as PDFs or other formats that may include non-editable images. These documents must be converted and formatted so that they are conducive to translation work. The TB has an in-house desktop publishing team.

The scope of some projects exceeds the capacity of the desktop publishing team. The TB is in the market for businesses or suppliers that are willing to provide desktop publishing services and have sufficient capacity to handle large requests (very large number of pages to format) with varying deadlines that can sometimes be very short. …
