Some of the proposed activities will likely be contracted out to third parties – are there restrictions regarding the contracting of project activities that I should be aware of?
Contributions are monitored to ensure sound accounting for contribution funding and to promote the principles of accountability for results, fairness, and best value for money from the perspective of ultimate beneficiaries. Applicants are advised that prior to the signing of a contribution agreement, applicants must disclose the use of contribution funds that may result in a contract of $25,000 or over, or contracts with businesses or individuals associated with the contribution recipient or their partners. In the event that the project may require the contracting of goods or services of $25,000 and over, the recipient is required to use a competitive process including at least three bids, otherwise, a justification for sole-sourcing must be provided in writing to the Department and approved by the appropriate official in order to be considered as an eligible cost.
