The Government of Yukon is on track to deliver seasonally-dependent projects after releasing tenders worth over $66 million for the coming summer season before the end of March. An additional $19 million in projects will be tendered in April and May.
Putting out tenders before the summer allows contractors to begin work early and complete projects on schedule before winter. It also helps businesses plan and competitively bid for government contracts.
The government is also staggering closing dates to better enable contractors to be informed and have time to bid on more than one tender.
As part of our comprehensive work to improve procurement, we have been tendering projects earlier to help vendors better prepare for seasonal work. This approach allows contractors to plan their projects and take full advantage of our short and intense building season.
