Both reports confirmed that the procurement process had been conducted in accordance with the probity principles established for the tender. The report was consistent with the format specified by the VGPB.
During interviews, the procurement advisor indicated that as the procurement process continued, any risks or issues arising were reported to the steering committee and were documented in the project and enterprise risk management plans.
Based on our inspection of the agencies' files, we are satisfied that appropriate records have been maintained on the various steps of the procurement process.
