Section 112.0.0.1 Disposition versions

2017-06-16

112.0.0.1. If the Community uses a system of bid weighting and evaluating described in section 109, it may, in the call for tenders, provide that the opening of tenders will be followed by individual discussions with each tenderer to further define the technical or financial aspects of the project and allow the tenderer to submit a final tender that reflects the outcome of those discussions.

A call for tenders for such contracts must also contain

(1)  the rules for breaking a tie in the points assigned to final tenders by the selection committee;

(2)  the procedure and the time period, which may not exceed six months, for holding discussions; and

(3)  provisions allowing the Community to ensure compliance at all times with the rules applicable to it, in particular with respect to access to the documents of public bodies and the protection of personal information.

The selection committee shall evaluate each final tender and, for each criterion mentioned in the call for tenders described in the first paragraph, assign points which the secretary of the selection committee shall record in the secretary’s report referred to in section 112.0.0.8.

The Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy may, on the conditions he determines, authorize the Community to pay a financial compensation to each tenderer, other than the one to whom the contract is awarded, who has submitted a compliant tender. In such a case, the call for tenders must provide for such a payment and may not be published before the Minister has given his authorization.
