Aucune soumission satisfaisante n’ayant été reçue, dans le cadre de cette sollicitation initiale, BDC a procédé a un second appel d'offres sur invitation.

BDC initially solicited qualified firms from public tender DPQ-0000211552 (Merx Ref. 0000211552) to cover the requirements herein. As no satisfactory bids were received under this initial solicitation, BDC proceeded with a second invitational tender. As the estimated value of this contract was below the thresholds of the trade agreements (CFTA and CETA), the selection and awarding of the contract to this supplier was made following a competitive invitational selection process. BDC subsequently resorted to a limited call for tenders, in accordance with the following articles:
CFTA: Article 513 1. c) - Limited tender, additional deliveries
CETA: Article 19.12 1. c) - Limited tender “...for additional deliveries”.
