ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE
(ACAN)
1) Definition
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15) calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor.
If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the competitive requirements of the government's contracting policy have been met.
Following notification to suppliers not successful in demonstrating that their Statement of Capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the Treasury Board's electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit Statement of Capabilities during the fifteen calendar day posting period, and meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the department or agency must proceed to a full tendering process on either the government's electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.

Title: Data acquisition from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC)
Background
Every year, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation prepares an assessment roll for every municipality in Ontario.
The roll lists the property assessment for every property registered in a municipality or in the jurisdiction of a school board with authority to levy taxes.
The MPAC prepares complementary property assessment lists that municipaliti8es use to add tax revenues stemming from new construction or major modification to properties during a fiscal year.
The MPAC assesses more than 4.5 million properties.
The Fiscal Equalization Program, which has been in force since 1957, enables the provinces to provide comparable public services based on comparable tax rates.
The fiscal capacity for provincial taxes used to determine fiscal equalization payments are calculated annually.
These calculations use fiscal and economic data for every financial year.
In order to ensure that these payments are as accurate as possible, the data used must be as current and reliable as possible.
Finance Canada is responsible for setting the equalization formula and for calculating the resulting payments to the provinces.
However, Statistics Canada is one of the main suppliers of the data used in the formula for calculating these payments.
Finance Canada has asked the Investment, Science and Technology Division to produce a residential and non-residential property value data set (at market prices) at the provincial and municipal level, based on municipal assessment rolls (MARs).
The data requirement is the MAR database for every province at the municipal level.

The key data variables required are the reference dates and dates of assessment, the municipality identification, the status (taxable or non-taxable), the type of property, and the assessed value of the property for the year 2013, 2014, and 2015.
The data will be transmitted using Electronic File Transfer Protocol.
