Authorization - Awarding of Contracts in Cases of Impossibility to Deal with Suppliers Having an Establishment in Quebec or a Territory Covered by an Intergovernmental Agreement
The City is authorizing the Procurement Department to purchase specialized vehicle diagnostic software directly from a U.S. manufacturer. This is necessary because no Canadian suppliers exist for these specific licenses, and current regulations require council approval to bypass local procurement preferences in such cases.
Read full translation

WHEREAS the regulation imposing conditions on the awarding of certain supply contracts by municipal bodies (decree 2014-2025, March 5, 2025) regulates the awarding of supply contracts for: 1° computer hardware and software; 2° medical supplies and equipment; 3° pharmaceutical products; 4° scientific instruments;

WHEREAS the regulation stipulates that the above-mentioned supply contracts can only be awarded by mutual agreement to a company having an establishment in Quebec or in a territory covered by an applicable intergovernmental agreement, unless prior authorization is granted by the council of the body;

WHEREAS the Public Works Department needs to renew licenses/software allowing for the establishment of diagnostics necessary during vehicle repairs;

WHEREAS the Public Works Department and the Procurement Department have not been able to find Canadian distributors to obtain the licenses and this type of license is only available online from the American manufacturer:

AS AN AMENDMENT: IT IS PROPOSED BY MAYOR MAUDE MARQUIS-BISSONNETTE, SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR STEVE MORAN, to modify the resolution as follows:

AND RESOLVED THAT this council authorizes the management of the responsible Procurement Department to award contracts, for the renewal of licenses/software allowing for the establishment of diagnostics necessary during vehicle repairs, that involve an expenditure below the threshold of a contract that can only be awarded after a public call for tenders to American suppliers only when it is not possible to do business with suppliers having an establishment in Quebec or in a territory covered by an applicable intergovernmental agreement after having carried out serious and documented research.
