Contract Claims Resolution Board

The Contract Claims Advisory Board (CCAB) 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.
