Fasken Martineau Releases Primer on Procurement Rules in the New Canadian Free Trade Agreement

What public sector purchasers and suppliers need to know (and do differently)

(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/01/17 -- today released its primer on important changes in Canada's domestic public procurement regime that came into force on July 1, 2017 with the introduction of the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA). The CFTA effectively replaces the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). These changes are intended to align Canada's domestic trade treaty arrangements with the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and other international treaties. The CFTA also adds Nunavut as a party.

"This information is relevant for public sector purchasers, as it discusses how they should change their documentation and processes. It is also critical for suppliers who bid on public sector procurements, as the CFTA's regime provides suppliers with greater transparency and access to information," said , Partner at Fasken Martineau and a leading procurement lawyer in Canada.

Highlights of the key changes in Canada's domestic public procurement regime include:

Competitive Procurement Value Thresholds

Exclusions and Exceptions

Prohibited Practices, Eligibility Conditions

Specifications

Evaluation and Negotiation

Notices
