On November 11, 2015, the Québec Government announced a
Draft Regulation to amend the implementing
regulations of the Act Respecting Contracting by Public
Bodies with respect to supply contracts, service contracts and
construction contracts. This draft regulation also provides the
establishment of a new regulation, the Regulation respecting
contracting by public bodies in the field of information
technologies, which will provide contractual rules specific to this
sector.
The proposed amendments to the concerned regulations, that is
the Regulation respecting supply contracts of public
bodies, the Regulation respecting service contracts of public
bodies and the Regulation respecting construction contracts of
public bodies, as well as the new Regulation respecting
contracting by public bodies in the field of information
technologies, aim, among other things, to allow the electronic
transmission of tenders to public bodies through the electronic
tendering system (SEAO).
