An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is a public notice
indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified supplier, believed to be the only one capable of
performing the work, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal
their interest in bidding by submitting a statement of
capabilities. If no other supplier submits a statement of
capabilities that meets the requirements set out in theACAN, the
contracting officer may then proceed with awarding the contract
to the pre-identified supplier. It is important to note that
anACANis not a "competitive" process. Also of note is that
anACANprocess, even if conducted in accordance with the Policy,
does not constitute a "competitive" process for the purposes of
the trade agreements and any Canadian International Trade
Tribunal (CITT) challenge. For the purposes of contract approval
authorities only, a contract awarded after posting anACANfor
which no valid statement of capabilities is submitted within the
notice period is a competitive (electronic) contract.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to meet the specified requirements may submit a statement of
capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this
Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The
statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the
supplier meets the advertised requirements.
