The OAA is a member of the Construction and Design Alliance of Ontario (CDAO), a forum for discussion, development, and advancement of industry issues related to provincial government policy, legislation, and regulation. Last month, the group held its annual “Procurement Day” virtual event, which offers various learning opportunities, from qualifications-based selection (QBS) to the importance of pre-project investment as well as standard industry documents.

The CDAO has now made four videos available as free on-demand sessions. The YouTube playlist comprises:
• “The Supply Chain Challenges Impacting Critical Construction Materials;”
• “Qualifications-Based Selection in the Procurement of Professional Design Services;”
• “Standardized Contracts;” and
• “Enhancing Project Delivery through Pre-project Investment.”
