NBCC: distinguish secured mandates from available downstream packages

Procurement origination framework

Project and policy context

NBCC’s official news includes project and secured-business announcements. Such announcements are not, by themselves, invitations for another bidder to win the same mandate.

TLGS commercial assessment

For contractors and advisors, the actionable opportunity may lie downstream in a subsequent works, design or service package. Track that separate invitation, its scope and current award status rather than counting an already-secured order as open business.

Client priorities

• Identify the executing package and its procurement platform.
• Record the project owner, PMC/EPC authority and actual inviting entity separately.
