Authorization renewal (if applicable)

The renewal does not apply. Your authorization to contract is valid for an indefinite period, as long as:

• The enterprise complies with the obligations set out in the Act respecting contracting by public bodies (ACPB), including the submission of the annual update. 
• The authorization is not suspended or revoked by the AMP.

• If you submitted your application before the renewal deadline listed on your renewal notice
  Your authorization remains valid until we have processed your renewal application. In the meantime, you may continue to perform your current contracts and subcontracts, and enter into new ones.
• If you did not submit your renewal application on time
  Your enterprise has already been removed from the Registre des entreprises autorisées à contracter ou à sous-contracter (REA) as of the authorization’s expiration date. To enter into new public contracts or subcontracts equal to or above the applicable thresholds, you will need to apply for a new authorization.
• The authorization must remain valid for the entire duration of a contract
  Letting your authorization expire while a contract or subcontract that requires it is in effect is, among other things, subject to a monetary administrative penalty ($1,000 for sole proprietorships and $2,500 in all other cases).
• If the required documents are not provided, AMP will not process your request, and the fees will not be refunded
  Among other things, you must provide you must provide the audited financial statements for the latest fiscal year of the enterprise or at least a review engagement report on the financial statements for the latest fiscal year. Notices to reader and compilation engagements are not accepted.
