A bidder must obtain official bid documents from a distribution service, authorized
by the Minister of Supply and Services, in order to submit a bid. The current

For procurements which are not subject to the provisions of one or more of the
interprovincial procurement agreements, the Province of New Brunswick reserves
the right to apply Provincial or regional Preferences, consider local content in
the evaluation of bids and/or refuse to consider bids from vendors from other
jurisdictions when it is considered to be in the best interests of the Province.
When determining the use of these conditions, the Province will consider, among
other factors, the
extent to which New Brunswick vendors have access to equivalent procurement
opportunities in those jurisdictions and the treatment accorded by those jurisdictions
to bids from New Brunswick vendors. The Province will be the sole judge of whether
these conditions will be used and the extent to which they will be applied.
