Description

To fulfill its obligations under Article 24 of the Nunavut Agreement, the Government of Canada has issued the Directive on Government Contracts, Including Real Property Leases in the Nunavut Settlement Area, known as the "Nunavut Directive." This online self-paced course provides an overview of the Nunavut Directive and outlines the measures by which procurement specialists must provide fair and reasonable opportunities for Inuit firms to submit bids on government contracts. Participants will learn about the key policy measures of this directive and how to apply them during the procurement process.

Topics include:

• identifying when a procurement is subject to the Nunavut Directive
• limiting bids to Inuit firms depending on market capacity (as per the Inuit Firm Registry)
• including bid evaluation criteria related to benefits for Inuit and Nunavut, either on a best-effort or mandatory basis, depending on contract value
• determining how to document and report on government contracts (as per the Nunavut Directive)
