ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE - UB450-128923/A
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, during
this posting period, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the
requirements set out in the ACAN, then the competitive
requirements of the government's contracting policy have been
met. Following notification to suppliers not successful in
demonstrating that their Statement of Capabilities meets the
requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be
awarded using the electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit Statements of Capabilities
during the posting period which meet the requirements set out in
the ACAN, (i.e. considered valid) then the contracting authority
must proceed to a full tendering process (electronic or
traditional).
The objectives of posting an ACAN are to:
a) enhance transparency in government procurement;
b) support the Government's objective of enhanced competition;
c) provide potential suppliers the opportunity to submit a
statement of capabilities to a proposed directed procurement if
they believe they have the capability and capacity to provide
the good, service or construction requirement; and,
d) meet the government's and suppliers need for an efficient and
cost-effective government procurement system.
