The Autorité des marchés publics (AMP)—an independent body in Québec that monitors public procurement—has found that Université de Sherbrooke has contravened regulations related to contracts and procurement. The organization found that the university failed to conduct an adequate needs assessment and invoked an unjustified exception when using private contracts. USherbrooke’s leadership has received two recommendations: First, to carry out a rigorous needs assessment and acquisition process in accordance with the regulations it is subject to and, second, to ensure staff members receive training in related areas.
