Grounded in official supplier guidance
CanadaBuys tells suppliers to identify mandatory pass-or-fail criteria before writing, meet all bidding conditions, complete security requirements, and follow the submission instructions. This checklist organizes that first-pass review; it does not reproduce or replace the solicitation.
Always verify the live notice, every attachment, amendment, required form, deadline, and buyer instruction before acting.
