In order to be considered, the Bidder must certify that it qualifies as an Indigenous business as defined under PSAB and that it will comply with all requirements of PSAB. If bids from two (2) or more Indigenous businesses are compliant with the terms of the Request for Proposal, the contracting authority will limit the competition to those Indigenous businesses and will not consider bids from any non-Indigenous businesses that may have been submitted.
