owners to simplify as much as possible the
processes for our users while continuing our
technological advance to ensure the TES sys-
tem remains efficient and modern,” says Lac-
roix. “Since the creation of the TES platform,
we continue to work to improve it with the
aim of adapting to the needs of users while in-
tegrating the latest technological innovations,
including Responsive Design, platform com-
patibility, automatic tax calculation, and geo-
localization of the specialties subjected to the
tendering code by region.”
Lacroix concludes that the BSDQ will remain
tuned in to all the industries’ participants and
constantly be in improvement mode of its pro-
cesses. “In agreement with the contractors of
the industry, we created scope-of-work guides
to assist the contractors when preparing a ten-
der,” he says. “The guides reflect the customs
and practises of the specialized contractors
in the execution of the works based on their
expertise and knowledge.” In 2018, four new
guides were adopted bringing the total to six
guides affecting as many specialties. In 2017
the BSDQ underlined its 50th anniversary. The
BSDQ is now poised for another successful 50
years and beyond.
