This is the power of industry associations. Within 24 hours, two separate members in different regions contacted BCCA after receiving last-minute addenda on tenders. In both cases, extensions had already been denied by the owners. Once Rory at VICA and Nicole at NRCA engaged the procurement authorities and explained best practices, both tenders were extended.

This joint advocacy protected member anonymity, preserved key relationships, and helped ensure a better process for all bidders. This is what we do: when members raise issues, we act.
