- CPPC presents an update on Surety
Presented by the Surety Association of Canada in cooperation with the Canadian Public Procurement Council
What is surety? When would it be helpful? How can I use it for the best results? What are the recent trends?
All of these questions and more will be answered by the Surety Association of Canada in a new series of workshops exploring surety tools, both paper and electronic. The workshops will include:
- a review of surety instruments used in the procurement and contract management process;
- an outline of the differences between surety instruments and alternatives forms of security, i.e. contract default insurance and letters of credit;
- a review of three separate case studies where surety bonds were called, claims made and the subsequent outcome, and a discussion regarding what might have resulted if alternative forms of security were in place; and
- an update on e-Bonding.
The Canadian Public Procurement Council is the leading voice for professionals involved in public procurement in Canada. Our members are organizations at the federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal levels of government, and in the health care and education sectors and Crown corporations. We support the public procurement community across Canada, by promoting dialogue, facilitating information exchanges, developing approaches to common issues, and providing leadership for the resolution of shared challenges.
