Description

Limited Cannabis Distribution in Manitoba

Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries (MBLL) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) allowing organizations to apply for a Limited Cannabis Distribution Agreement with MBLL.

The intent of this RFQ is to invite additional qualified organizations to form non-exclusive “limited cannabis distribution” partnerships with multiple Licensed producers for the purpose of achieving the following goals:

Improve provincial storage bringing more cannabis inventory into the province.
Allow purchase orders to be shipped as quickly as possible reducing lead times.
Improved delivery services to small, rural, and remote retailers.
Faster fulfilment cycles experienced by retailers.
Keep supply chain costs as low as possible.

Pending an RFQ evaluation, successful proponents will enter into twelve-month renewable agreements with MBLL, with the understanding that MBLL’s approach to the distribution of cannabis products in Manitoba is evolving and that there are no guarantee agreements will be renewed after twelve months.

Upon successfully entering into an agreement with Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, proponents will be required to obtain a Cannabis Distributor License from the Liquor, Gaming & Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA).

Respondents should be aware, however, of the limited time scope of any such arrangement and therefore the total potential utility of entering into such an agreement. Please carefully review the entire RFQ including the transparency statements before responding.
