The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) has received a complaint (File No. PR-2017-054) from Strength Tek Fitness (Strength Tek), of Ottawa, Ontario, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. 100006330) by the Department of Employment and Social Development (ESDC). The solicitation is for fitness centre services. Pursuant to subsection 30.13(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and subsection 7(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Procurement Inquiry Regulations, notice is hereby given that the Tribunal made a decision on February 15, 2018, to conduct an inquiry into the complaint.
