Contract Management

The main objective of this by-law is to assure citizens that the money spent on the acquisition of goods and services is in accordance with a proper administration.

To award any service, construction or supply contract for an amount equal to or greater than the threshold set by the government ($133,800 in 2024), a municipality must issue a public call for tenders.

Current calls for tenders

The Town of Pincourt publishes its public tender notices in the Constructo newspaper and on the Système électronique d'appels d'offres (SÉAO).

To view current calls for tenders, consult the SÉAO link.
