1. The Purpose and Explanation of an ACAN
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows Service New Brunswick to post a notice indicating to
the supplier community that the Province intends to award a goods or services contract to a preidentified supplier by leveraging an alternative procurement method, as permitted by Regulation 2014-93
and Regulation 2022-78 under the Procurement Act and applicable trade agreements. If no other supplier
submits, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the minimum
requirements identified in the ACAN, Service New Brunswick may then proceed to award a contract to
the pre-identified supplier.
2. Rights of Suppliers

described in this ACAN may submit a Statement of Capabilities demonstrating how they meet the
