The fact that, in the RFP, rather than use the "essential," the Department used the words "mandatory requirements," as well as the words "shall," "must" and "will," and indicated that the desirable technical requirements must meet the prescribed minimum scores, does not alter the character of these requirements.
Le fait que, dans la DDP, le Ministère ait utilisé les mots «mandatory requirements» ([traduction] conditions ou exigences obligatoires) plutôt que le mot «essential» ([traduction] essentielles) ainsi que les mots «shall», «must» et «will» ([traduction] doivent) et ait indiqué que les soumissionnaires doivent obtenir les notes minimales prescrites pour les exigences techniques souhaitables, ne modifie pas le caractère de ces exigences.
