In Canadian contract law , Contract A is a concept that has recently been applied by courts regarding the fair and equal treatment of bidders in a contract tendering process. Essentially this concept formalizes previously applied precedents and strengthens the protection afforded to those who submit bids in the tendering process. The concept was introduced in 1981 by the Supreme Court of Canada , in R. v. Ron Engineering and Construction Eastern Ltd . The court found that a duty of fairness was owed to all bidders by an owner in a tendering process. The Contract A is formed when a request for proposal is responded to in the form of a valid bid, sometimes also known as submission of price. As many Contracts A are formed between the owner person, company or organization tendering the project and the bidders as there are bids received. The owner must now deal fairly and equally with all bidders, and must not show any favoritism or prejudice towards any bidder s . In essence, this concept boils down to the right of an individual to have equal opportunity to be successful with their bid for work. A breach of Contract A may occur if the owner or an owner s officer or representative, see vicarious liability , provides information, changes specification during the tendering process to unfairly benefit a particular bidder, enters into closed negotiations with an individual bidder in an effort to obtain more desirable contract conditions, etc. The most common situation in which an owner is accused of having breached Contract A occurs when a bidder is selected who is not the lowest bidder. This contravenes established custom and practice, which would normally dictate that the lowest bid be awarded the contract, but is not normally a source of a breach if handled properly. The successful suits for breach typically occur if the lowest bidder has been excluded based on a stipulation ... to be too broadly worded to have any meaning.
