Defence Procurement Strategy

October 22, 2014

The Defence Procurement Strategy will have a significant impact on major federal Government procurements. While its impact is still not fully understood, we have seen its inclusion on recent procurements.

With a continued requirement to reinvest 100% of the contract value in work in Canada, we will now see proposals contracts with a value of $20M+ require a Value Proposition with a comprehensive ITB Plan added to those with a value of $100M+. Perhaps more importantly; the Value Proposition will be rated and weighted versus the historical pass/fail of an IRB Plan.

Lansdowne will continue to monitor the application and evaluation of the VP and ITBs.
