CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL
DETERMINATION
Professional, administrative and management support services
Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2013-020) on January 27, 2014, with respect to a complaint filed by Tiree Facility Solutions Inc. (Tiree), of Ottawa, Ontario, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 47 (4th Supp.), concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. NCR1005) by Defence Construction Canada (DCC). The solicitation was for the provision of professional services specific to the Canadian Forces Housing Agency project, located at various locations throughout Canada.
Tiree alleged that DCC did not evaluate its bid in accordance with the evaluation criteria contained in the Request for Abbreviated Proposals.
Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Agreement on Government Procurement, the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement and the Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not valid.
Further information may be obtained from the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, 333 Laurier Avenue West, 15th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).
