DETERMINATION
Materials handling equipment
Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made a determination (File No. PR-2019-007) on September 4, 2019, with respect to a complaint filed by Pennecon Hydraulic Systems (Pennecon), of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. 47 (4th Supp.), concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. W8482-156383/B) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence. The solicitation was for the provision of electro-hydraulic marine cranes, with associated detailed engineering design data and technical data package, for the Royal Canadian Navy Halifax-class ships.
Pennecon alleged that the successful bidder did not possess the experience required by the mandatory technical evaluation criteria of the Request for Proposal and that PWGSC improperly disqualified the bid submitted by Pennecon and its supplier.
Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not valid.
Further information may be obtained from the Registrar, Canadian International Trade Tribunal Secretariat, 333 Laurier Avenue West, 15th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613‑993‑3595 (telephone), citt-tcce@tribunal.gc.ca (email).

INQUIRY
Marine
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has received a complaint (File No. PR-2019-029) from Heddle Marine Services Inc. (Heddle Marine), of Hamilton, Ontario, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. F7013-190036/B) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The solicitation is a Letter of Interest/Invitation to Qualify for the provision of a shipyard.
