BID PROCESS UNDERWAY

Released on October 30, 2013

New Process to Obtain Available Off-sale Outlets is Now Underway

Previously only hotel taverns and brew pubs were eligible to operate an off-sale outlet.  Now any liquor permitted establishment, including restaurants and stand-alone bars, are eligible to operate an off-sale.  Available off-sale outlets will be awarded through a sealed bid process.

Caps on the number of off-sales per municipality (based on population) will remain.

“The sealed bid process provides an objective way of allocating available off-sale outlets,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer said.  “And maintaining caps on the overall number of off-sales help ensure a balance between accessibility to alcohol and the need to ensure that alcohol is sold responsibly.”

There are currently 17 off-sale endorsements available in the municipalities of: Aberdeen, Arborfield, Candle Lake, Halbrite, Hubbard, Lintlaw, Marengo, Pilot Butte, RM of Brock, RM of Coalfields, RM of Ituna Bon Accord, RM of Laird, RM of Milton, Wakaw Lake, Weyburn and Moose Jaw (two available).

The new process to allocate available off-sale outlets was one of the more than 70 changes made to Saskatchewan’s liquor regulations.  The process will take place quarterly with available locations posted on the SaskTenders website.  Deadline to submit bids for the current process is January 13, 2014.
