Section 40 Disposition versions

2013-05-23

40. A public body may require a quality assurance system, including an ISO standard, for the carrying out of a contract. The public body must specify the requirement in the tender documents.

If such a requirement unduly reduces competition, the public body must allow any contractor to submit a tender and grant to a contractor that fulfils the requirement referred to in the first paragraph a preferential margin not exceeding 5%. In the latter case, the price submitted by such a contractor is, for the sole purpose of determining the successful tenderer, reduced by the preferential margin, without any effect on the price for contract awarding purposes.

The percentage of the preferential margin to be applied must be indicated in the tender documents.

O.C. 532-2008, s. 40; O.C. 431-2013, s. 13.
