Tender was rigged for only one bidder: BIG
The inspector general says a tender for the Rosemont aquatic centre was written so only one bidder could get it, the sort of thing that got the Tremblay administration into so much trouble.

We need a rule that says that if there aren’t three independent bids, the tender has to be rewritten. That will end this nonsense forever.

With the market booming these days, contractors are able to be picky. I recently sought 3 bids for a contract and only received one offer. After following-up with the other potential bidders, they felt like they were too busy to bid for a contract they didn’t find particularly interesting.
This is one of the detractions of a booming construction industry (in addition to the 25% mark-up)
