Request for Proposals
Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation
September 12, 2001 2:00 PM
The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) announced today that it
is requesting proposals for the operation of warehousing and
distribution services. The provincial government's Public Tenders
Office will process the request.
This initiative was announced last fall by Rodney MacDonald,
Minister responsible for the Liquor Control Act.
"Government is interested in determining whether there is a
business case to be made for providing alternative warehousing
and distribution services," said Mr. MacDonald.
A successful proposal would have to provide services to the
existing 100 retail stores of the liquor corporation, as well as
about 150 metro-area licensees that use the current NSLC
Distribution Centre in Bayers Lake.
Bruce Rogers, acting president of the corporation, said the call
for proposals will look at all possible options. The intent is to
provide service that is equal to or better than what is now
provided and to reduce overall warehousing and distribution
costs.
