Contract Management
The Cities and Towns Act establishes the legal context for the adjudication of contracts by municipalities. In general, the procedures vary for:
- a call for public tenders, for all contracts that involve an expenditure equal to or above the threshold for public calls for tender;
- a call for invitational tenders, for all contracts that involve an expenditure of $50,001 or more but less than the threshold for public calls for tender;
- awarding a contract that involves an expenditure of $50,000 or less by mutual agreement.
Municipal contracts are awarded by resolution of the Town Council or by managers holding a delegation of power to that effect under By-Law No. 2013-52 which is the internal by-law of the municipal Council pertaining to the delegation of powers in matters relating to contracts and to human resources.
