CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

DETERMINATION

Shipboard miscellaneous equipment — repair, overhaul, modification and calibration

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made a determination (File No. PR-2020-038) on January 22, 2021, with respect to a complaint filed by Marine Recycling Corporation (MRC), of Port Colborne, 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. F7044-200238/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The solicitation was for the dismantling and disposal of the former vessel CCGS W.E. Ricker.

MRC alleged that PWGSC relied on undisclosed criteria in the evaluation of the bid, failed to apply published evaluation criteria and ignored vital information contained in the bid. In addition, MRC alleged that PWGSC improperly cancelled the solicitation.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of various trade agreements, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was valid in part.

Further information may be obtained from the Deputy Registrar, 613‑993‑3595 (telephone), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).
