Document background
The Email To Vendor Not Selected is a critical communication document used in Canadian procurement processes when informing unsuccessful vendors about tender or contract decisions. This document serves as an official record of the procurement decision and must comply with Canadian federal and provincial procurement guidelines, including the Federal Procurement Policy and Treasury Board Contracting Policy. It is typically used following the completion of a formal evaluation process and selection of a successful vendor. The email must balance transparency requirements with confidentiality considerations, providing sufficient feedback to unsuccessful vendors while protecting sensitive information about other bids. The document should maintain professional relationships with vendors while ensuring compliance with legal requirements for procurement communication and documentation.
