Can you change the terms of a contract awarded after a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, or should you issue a new RFP to cover the desired changes? Test yourself with this recent Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) case.
On October 18, 2006, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) issued an RFP for six “streams” of mobile wireless products and services. Stream 1 was “Wireless Cellular/Personal Communications Service (PCS), Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and Aircard products and associated services.” PWGSC intended to select two suppliers for Stream 1. The resulting contracts were to be valid for two years with options to extend the contracts.
