Navigating public procurement in Quebec requires strict adherence to authorization requirements, eligibility criteria, and compliance rules. Understanding the distinction between major irregularities that lead to automatic bid rejection and minor ones that can be corrected is essential for contractors seeking to maximize their chances of winning public contracts.

Key Points to Remember Before Submitting a Bid 

To avoid ineligibility or non-compliance and maximize your chances of winning the contract your company is bidding on, remember these rules: 

  • Check your AMP authorization to contract. Don’t forget the annual update. 
  • Read the tender documents thoroughly, especially the automatic rejection clauses. 
  • Put together a complete bid package and double-check it: signatures, guarantees, declarations, lists of subcontractors, and confirmation of receipt of addenda. 
  • Only communicate with the person identified in the tender documents. 
  • If you have any doubts about the compliance of your bid, seek legal advice.

Bidding on a public contract is often a major strategic move.
