IMPORTANT NOTICES

News

A new electronic tendering system ("SEAO") went live in June 2024. Among the new features announced, the system will automatically assign a "Tender Slip Identification Number" to each supplier-type organization.

You will note that the Company has added a space on the Tender Form to allow the tenderer to enter his "Tender Slip Identification Number", assigned to him by the SEAO.

Pilot project to facilitate payments in the construction industry

The President of the Conseil du trésor has authorized the implementation of a pilot project to test various measures designed to facilitate payment to companies involved in public construction contracts and public sub-contracts directly or indirectly related to them, and to define applicable standards in this area.

The pilot project is essentially designed to test two main elements: a mandatory payment schedule and a dispute resolution method involving the use of an expert intervener. The mandatory payment schedule includes a requirement to pay companies on fixed dates. The dispute resolution process, on the other hand, provides for mandatory recourse to a qualified intervener-expert for any dispute covered by the pilot project.

The contract covered by this call for tenders is subject to the pilot project to facilitate payment to companies involved in public construction work contracts and related public subcontracts (Ministerial Order No. 2018-01). Accordingly, the contract covered by this call for tenders and related subcontracts are subject to the terms and conditions established by this pilot project.

Recommendation for electronic submission of bids

The Company has undertaken initiatives for its digital transformation and, as a result, strongly recommends that bidders submit their bids electronically via the SEAO.

Authorization to contract/certification from Revenu Québec
