Procurement Policy
Procurement at The City is an exciting and rewarding responsibility. As public servants, we are responsible for getting the best value for taxpayers’ dollars, while meeting external and internal governance requirements (e.g., applicable trade agreements, laws, legislation and regulations, City policies, etc.).
Bid opportunities are subject to legislated requirements such as the Agreement on Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the New West Partnership Agreement (NWPTA). Excluding the exceptions NWPTA specifies, the agreement requires open, competitive procurements of:
- Goods and services of $75,000 or more; and,
- Construction contracts of $200,000 or more.
Procurement policy training
All City employees, consultants and contractors must attend procurement policy training if their role involves procurement, whether it be purchasing small dollar goods, procuring the services to deliver large capital projects, or participating on a procurement evaluation team, to name a few.
