ACAN (Advance contract award notice)
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is an official written notice issued by the Government of Canada that provides potential bidders with information about an upcoming procurement for goods, services, or construction. This notice outlines the buyer’s intention to award a contract to a particular supplier without competition, and allows other suppliers to indicate their interest in providing the required goods or services. The ACAN helps ensure fair, open and transparent government procurement processes.
