Introduction
On March 23, 2004, the Government announced a new policy on the mandatory publication of contracts over $10,000.
This Web site provides information on contracts issued by or on behalf of the IRB. Every three months we will be reporting contracts awarded by the institution in the previous three months.
Since October 31, 2004, and every three months thereafter, this website has been updated to include information on new contracts awarded.
On June 19, 2008, the policy was changed to also require the disclosure of contract amendments valued over $10,000.
Effective October 31, 2012, amendments to the
Guidelines on the Proactive Disclosure of Contracts require that contracts over $10,000 issued to former public servants in receipt of a pension under the
Public Service Superannuation Act after January 1, 2013 be identified as such.
The rules and principles governing government contracting are outlined in the Treasury Board
Contracting Policy. The objective of government procurement contracting is to acquire goods and services, including construction services, in a manner that enhances access, competition and fairness and results in best value to Canada.
