Municipal Tenders

The Town of Strathmore is committed to the acquisition of goods and services at the best value while treating all vendors equitably.

Bid opportunities are subject to legislated requirements including the following agreements and policies:

Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT)
New West Partnership Agreement (NWPTA), formerly the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA), and
Strathmore's Procurement Policy

The Town of Strathmore awards contracts based on bids that provide the best value for each dollar spent. Evaluation criteria and methods may differ based on the type of bid document and project requirements; they are identified in each bid document.

In general, award criteria are heavily weighted to price. As such, contracts are usually awarded to the vendor with the lowest compliant bid, in accordance with Canadian tender law. Contracts that result from other bid opportunities may rely more on satisfying other requirements than price alone.
