Contract was for 4 additional security guards at Kuujjuaq’s hospital
Quebec’s public market authority found the Ungava Tulattavik Health Centre went against public market laws when handing out a private contract for security personnel, according to a news release the authority published this week.
The public market authority is a neutral and independent organization that watches over the public market and ensures public bodies respect laws governing the handing out and accepting of public contracts.
According to the release, the health centre handed out a private contract worth more than $326,000 for additional security personnel without first publishing a notice of intention.
