DETERMINATION
EDP hardware and software
Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2010-071) on January 27, 2011, with respect to a complaint filed by 1091847 Ontario Ltd. of Nepean, Ontario, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. EN578-030742/E) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC). The solicitation was for the provision of networking equipment.
1091847 Ontario Ltd. alleged that, by failing to hold an open competition for potential new suppliers of networking equipment, PWGSC carried out tendering procedures in a discriminatory and non-transparent manner.
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 and the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was valid.
Further information may be obtained from the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).
