Critique of the Ottawa Hospital
Public procurements must be held to a higher standard since they involve monies provided by the public. This means that the procuring entity must act, and be seen to act, with integrity and professionalism. All procurements must be conducted in an open, fair and transparent fashion.
 
When the industry and/or the public start to question a public procurement, for whatever reason, then that buyer of construction needs to review and re-evaluate what may have occurred to erode the trust of the public.
 
This is the current situation with the Ottawa Hospital.
