The applicant towing company brought a motion seeking to prevent a police services board from executing a towing services contract with another bidder following a request for quotation process.
The board had disqualified the applicant’s bid as non‑compliant for failing to provide required documentation including a letter of credit in the bidder’s name, enforceable leases for equipment and pound facilities, and proper licences.
The court found that the deficiencies were substantial and that the board acted properly and consistently in enforcing the mandatory pre‑conditions in the procurement process.
As the bid was correctly deemed non‑compliant, the applicant lacked standing to challenge the contract award.
