Contract Claims Resolution Board
Please note that since the November 6, 2003 realignment, the Contract
Claims Resolution Board (CCRB) no longer falls under the purview
of the Audit and Ethics Branch. CCRB is now one of the functions
of the Contract Claims and Advisory Services (CCAS), with the Corporate
Services, Human Resources and Communications Branch. CCRB provides
unique dispute resolution services.
With the exception of bid challenges and claims arising from Terminations
for Convenience, CCRB acts as an appeal/review organization in PWGSC
for all procurement-related disputes and extra-cost claims arising
from goods and services contracts, construction and architectural
and engineering services contracts. CCRB administers the following
activities:
- The Contracts Settlement Board (CSB): CSB is an independent
review body that resolves disputes concerning extra cost claims
which are referred to it by contractors providing goods and services
to PWGSC.
- The Contract Disputes Advisory Board (CDAB): CDAB is an independent
review board that provides an informal and rapid form of resolution
(non-binding advisory arbitration) for contract-related disputes.
The CDAB process is primarily designed for construction and architectural
and engineering consultant services. A CDAB is convened when a
request is made to the Minister by contractors or consultants
and the Minister grants the request.
