Acquisition Process Review

The National Fighter Procurement Secretariat issued a Request for Proposal to obtain the services of a firm to conduct an independent review of the steps taken up to June 2012 in the acquisition process for the replacement of the CF-18.

The goal of this independent review is to:

• determine whether the shortcomings the Auditor General identified in the acquisition process have been addressed;
• confirm whether the steps taken in the acquisition process for the period up to June 2012 were in accordance with government policies, procedures and regulations; and
• provide lessons learned and propose recommendations for changes, if any, to current practices and policies for acquisitions of a similar nature.

This is one of several activities that need to be completed before conclusions about replacing the CF-18 will be presented to the Government.
