Document background
The Construction Teaming Agreement is a crucial document used in the Canadian construction industry when two or more parties wish to combine their expertise, resources, and capabilities to pursue construction projects together. This agreement is particularly relevant when parties need to collaborate during the pre-construction and bidding phases, with the intention of forming a more permanent arrangement if the bid is successful. The document addresses key aspects such as exclusivity, confidentiality, resource allocation, and bid preparation procedures, while ensuring compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including competition laws, construction lien legislation, and professional licensing requirements. It serves as a preliminary framework that governs the parties' relationship until a more comprehensive construction contract is executed, should the bid be successful.
