New Treasury Board Directive on the Management of Procurement
A new directive, the Treasury Board Directive on the Management of Procurement took effect May 13, 2021. This directive replaces two Treasury Board policy instruments:
- Contracting Policy, and
- Policy on Decision Making in Limiting Contractor Liability in Crown Procurement Contracts
Government of Canada departments have until May 13, 2022 to make the transition to the new directive, with the exception of the requirements in Appendix A: Contracting Approvals which became effective immediately on May 13, 2021. During this transition period, departments may choose to follow the requirements of either the new directive, or of the two policy instruments noted above.
