Invitation to Quote (ITQ): I completed my ITQ process and none of the Quotes I received are from an Ontario Business.
The Building Ontario Businesses Initiative Act requires that you give preference to Ontario Businesses for purchases under the Open Competitive procurement threshold.
Unless your purchase falls into an exemption (for example, the goods are services are not available from an Ontario Business), you must invite at least one Ontario Business to quote. It’s possible that you will need to invite more than the minimum number of Vendors to quote as required by the Procurement Policy in order to satisfy BOBIA.
If you know at least one Vendor that was invited to quote is an Ontario Business based on a previous representation but they do not return a Quote by the Respond By date, contact us at ProcurementServices@carleton.ca for support and direction.
HINT: Vendors which have previously represented their status as an Ontario Business will be indicated with 
in eShop.
