IMPORTANT NOTICES
Pilot Project to Facilitate Payments in the Construction Industry
The President of the Treasury Board has authorized the implementation of a pilot project to test various measures designed to facilitate payment to companies involved in public construction contracts and public sub-contracts directly or indirectly related to them and to define applicable standards in this area.
The pilot project is essentially designed to test two main elements, namely a mandatory payment schedule and a dispute resolution method with the use of an expert intervener. The mandatory payment schedule includes the requirement to pay companies on fixed dates. The dispute resolution process provides for the mandatory use of a qualified expert intervener for any dispute covered by the pilot project.
The contract covered by this call for tenders is subject to the pilot project to facilitate payment to companies involved in public construction contracts and related public subcontracts (Ministerial Order No. 2018-01). Thus, the contract covered by this call for tenders and the related subcontracts are subject to the terms and conditions established by this pilot project.
