Building, event management and exhibition services
Notice is given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made a determination on August 12, 2026, with respect to a complaint filed by Origin Studios Inc. (Origin Studios), of Ottawa, Ontario, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, concerning a procurement (solicitation WS5491778638) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Veteran Affairs. The solicitation was for the development and installation of a permanent exhibit at the existing visitor centre at the Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial in Auchonvillers, France.
Origin Studios alleged that PWGSC wrongly rejected its bid on the basis that it did not comply with one of the mandatory technical criteria set out in the solicitation.
Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the applicable trade agreements, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not valid.
Further information may be obtained from the Registry, 613‑993‑3595 (telephone), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).
