Why consultation isn't required

NSSP is required to be implemented immediately to align with TBS Procurement Restriction Policy, no consultation is required.

Exception details

This NSSP aligns with the Procurement Restriction Policy that came into effect March 4, 2025. The Procurement Restriction Policy restricts procurement with U.S.-defined Businesses and requires Ministry’s to implement a formal process to screen out U.S. Businesses prior to bidding. CMO has created this NSSP (and declaration process) to align with the requirements in the Policy which applies to both construction and engineering services.
