Contract Law, and contract comparison, we deal with the issue of the agencies that function as regulators of companies which set the limits regarding public contracts, that is, tenders, we review a common contract and we meet in pairs, in My case involved me with Shino and we were assigned a specific case which we had to review what happened and briefly explain it, in our case it was: Double N. Earthmovers Ltd. vs. Edmonton (2007)

where summing up prior to the contract award, Double N had informed the City that Sureway did not own 1980 or newer equipment. The City chose not to investigate the matter. In the end, the Sureway bid was considered the lowest and the City awarded the contract to Sureway.

It was very interesting to see how errors in important contracts occur, some go unnoticed and some, as in this case, go overlooked because the consequences of rescinding a contract can be detrimental to important decisions to be made at the time of the decision to buy.

After doing a small review of the previous module we now move on to competitive bidding, what are the bases for a good competitive bidding, and here Integrity invariably stands out: open, fair and transparent. We review its meaning, what the main documents and the counterpart , that is, non-competitive contracting.

For several years I was immersed in the subject of tenders, contract review and, not least, the follow-up once awarded, but without a doubt, making a good tender saves you from loss of resources, saving problems and good practice will save you. It gives increasingly better tools to improve with each purchase.

As we saw in the reading, it is very important to know which submissions will be evaluated, the prices, to know what our limit is and to identify our needs, because the price defines the winner, to know that it is and that it is not negotiable when hiring. How will you make the selection if multiple or a single seller, know what happens if there is only one offer and also if there is any clause within our contracts that generates some type of privilege.

Let us not forget that ethics and responsibility must represent us at all times, even when talking about tenders.

In this first delivery it would be done individually, and in general the case to be discussed speaks of the fact that Hamidon City Council was having problems with its procurement system and therefore was not meeting its objective. The problem itself was that the customer was not provided with a windshield wiper blade, which is an essential component of a snowmobile that is used to remove snow from the roads, causing problems even for the general population.

Types of specifications, design, and development were also addressed.

In addition to the brand name specifications, in this case, agencies may indicate a specific brand or may say "or equivalent" to communicate that the Agency may accept products similar to the identified brand. Finally, technical specifications and scope of work.

Then we moved on to a team activity, where we were assigned the task of listing the specifications to furnish an office. Thankyou team!

Several examples of evaluation criteria were reviewed for comparison and further developed one by one.

In the end, we learned that although the beginning and development part is important, the meeting where the conclusions are reviewed should not be left out, this means a Post-close phase in which the proposal closes, Evaluation, Interviews/demonstrations are contemplated. ,Award, Debrief,Contract documentation.

We identify personal purchasing through commercial contractsb, accepting favors or accepting gifts from suppliers. As well as sharp practices, deceiving suppliers to generate an advantage over them or giving preferential treatment to suppliers who are also customers. We learned about the Canadian legal framework regarding ethics.

A very interesting topic that although although the majority knows what is right or wrong, but above all in daily life, it is important to know what acts are considered unethical within organizations and to ask the necessary questions about them. whoever it is to generate a culture of ethics in everything we do.

In the reading, apart from reviewing the topic of contracts and their characteristics, the types that exist, the development analysis of the suppliers was also reviewed, which is important to generate fluid work, with suppliers that cover the company's needs well and with This ensures good performance in every sense, that is the importance of having a good team of suppliers!
