PROCUREMENT & CONTRACTS COMMITTEE
The Procurement & Contracts Committee (P&C Committee) of the Consulting Architects of Alberta (CAA) is dedicated to improving procurement and contracting processes within the Architectural industry. Recognizing that procurement of consulting services differs significantly from purchasing products or other services, the committee aims to standardize and enhance these practices.
