Contracting and Procurement
Consultants nationwide have actively volunteered to provide feedback and advice on procurement and contracting of professional services to both CIDA and Consulting and Audit Canada (CAC). CAIDC members produced comments on CIDA's Study on Standing Offers (link) and the new CIDA-CAC contracting arrangement (link), as well as a follow up study on the CIDA-CAC arrangement. CAIDC's report on member satisfaction with the CAC-CIDA arrangement, which raised concerns about transparency, fairness, timeliness, and value for money, was approved by members at the AGM and sent to CIDA's President in January. In recent meetings with CIDA CAIDC was informed that CIDA is reopening this issue and conducting a new study on the contracting of professional services. They will be seeking CAIDC's views.
