Contractors challenge school board's tender process, citing unfair access and low bids.
Contractors and the Niagara Construction Association are challenging the Niagara Catholic District School Board’s $25-million St. Luke Elementary School tender process, alleging it was unfair and lacked transparency.
They say the board used the Daily Commercial News—a news outlet—not the standard electronic procurement platform Biddingo—to announce pre-qualification, limiting access and resulting in only 15 applicants, three from the region.
Despite cost increases due to inflation and pandemic delays, the board refused to reopen or extend the tender, maintaining compliance with procurement rules.
Critics argue broader access through Biddingo would boost competition, value, and local economic impact.
