Annual contribution 2021 CERIU (50% Water Service and 50% Infrastructure Service)

The Ville de Montréal is seeking to make an annual contribution of $16,000 to the Centre d'études sur les réseaux, les voies d'eau et les villes (CERIU) for the year 2021. This contribution is to be split equally between the city's Water Service and Infrastructure Service, with each service covering 50% of the cost. The procurement method is a negotiated contract, suggesting a direct award without a competitive tender. The rationale for this approach is detailed under 'ArticleAutre disposition - Précisez à l’étape Description.' The relevant categories for this procurement are S15 - Communication, Photography, Mapping, Printing, and Publishing Services, and Clubs and Organizations. CERIU is a research and development center focused on urban infrastructure, water networks, and transportation. This annual contribution likely supports CERIU's research, knowledge sharing, and technical assistance activities that benefit the Ville de Montréal's water and infrastructure departments, enabling them to stay abreast of best practices and technological advancements in their respective fields. The negotiated contract implies a pre-existing relationship or a specific mandate that justifies direct funding.

This is a services contract in the urban development and housing and environment and climate sectors, with a focus on Municipal Services. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
