2023-06-02

21.41. An authorization is valid for a period of five years.

To maintain its authorization, an enterprise must submit to the Authority an application for renewal at least 90 days before the authorization is to expire. If applicable, the authorization remains valid even if it has expired, until the Authority rules on the application, unless the authorization is revoked in the meantime.

The application for renewal must be submitted in the form prescribed by the Authority. It must be filed together with the documents and information prescribed by regulation of the Authority and the fee determined in accordance with section 84 of the Act respecting the Autorité des marchés publics (chapter A-33.2.1). The requirements so prescribed may vary according to the nature and significance of the changes that have occurred within the enterprise since the granting or latest renewal of the authorization to contract. Those requirements may also vary according to the type of enterprise or the place where the enterprise mainly carries on its activities.

An application for renewal submitted after the time limit specified in the second paragraph is a new application for authorization.

21.41. An authorization is valid for a period of three years.

To maintain its authorization, an enterprise must submit an application for renewal. The application for renewal must be submitted to the Authority at least 90 days before the authorization is to expire.

An authorization for which an application for renewal is submitted in time remains valid until the Authority rules on the application, unless the authorization is revoked in the meantime. The procedure for filing an application for renewal is the same as for an application for authorization, and the same conditions apply.

Despite section 21.18, an enterprise that no longer holds an authorization for the sole reason that it did not submit an application for renewal in time as required under the second paragraph may, despite the expiry of the authorization, continue public contracts or subcontracts already in process until the Authority’s decision on the renewal of the authorization.
