6. Notwithstanding section 5, a call for tenders may be extended to all suppliers concerned, whether or not they hold an ISO registration certificate, in the following cases:(1) where the territory considered in the call for tenders does not allow healthy competition as not enough suppliers in the territory hold an ISO registration certificate in a specialty listed in Schedule I of the Regulation respecting supply contracts, construction contracts and service contracts of government departments and public bodies; or
(2) where the contract is for printing services.
In such cases, when tenders are submitted by suppliers holding an ISO registration certificate listed in Schedule I of the Regulation respecting supply contracts, construction contracts and service contracts of government departments and public bodies, the lowest tender or the tender for services with the highest score is determined after subtracting up to 10% from the tender submitted by each such supplier. The percentage fixed for this purpose by the Chief Electoral Officer must be specified in the tender documents.
