| Q1. |
Who may file a complaint with the CITT? |
| A1. |
Any bidder or prospective bidder may file a complaint with the CITT. A bidder can be a sole proprietorship, a joint venture or any other authorized business venture. In cases of composite business ventures, it is important that mandated persons representing the whole of the business venture file the complaint. Generally, a subcontractor is not considered a bidder or prospective bidder on a designated contract. It is not necessary to have previously contracted with the government to be a prospective bidder. |
| Q2. |
How much time do I have to file a complaint with the CITT? |
| A2. |
A complaint must generally be filed, i.e. be received complete by the CITT,
within 10 working days from when the complainant discovers or should reasonably have discovered a specific ground of complaint. However, if a complainant has elected first to make an objection to the procuring authority and provided the objection was made within the 10 working days timeframe described above, the complainant can still file a complaint with the CITT on the same ground of complaint as long as such complaint is filed with the CITT within 10 working days from when the government has, in fact, or on a constructive basis, denied the complainant any relief to its objection. |
