The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) has received a complaint (File No. PR-2007-020) from TPG Technology Consulting Ltd. (TPG), of Ottawa, Ontario, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. EN869-060882/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC). The solicitation is for the provision of product management services. Pursuant to subsection 30.13(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and subsection 7(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Procurement Inquiry Regulations, notice is hereby given that the Tribunal has decided to conduct an inquiry into the complaint. Interested parties were advised of the Tribunal's decision on May 28, 2007.
