Issue/Question:

Public Services and Procurement Canada’s procurement relationship with Dalian and Coradix.

Suggested Response:

  • In March 2024, Public Services and Procurement Canada took action to prevent Dalian Enterprises and Coradix Technology Consulting from continuing work on federal contracts and from participating in new procurement opportunities, including through supply arrangements
    • As this matter is currently before the courts, I am not in a position to comment further

Background:

On November 11, 2024, The Globe and Mail reported that Coradix had filed a lawsuit against the Government of Canada, claiming $64 million in damages, according to Federal Court records. The media report also indicated that at the time of its suspension, Coradix had 81 federal contracts and that all were terminated or suspended within weeks.
