We are replacing the "Letter of Commitment" (LOC), with a notification document called "Notice To Purchase" (NTP). This change will have the following benefits:
- Unlike the LOC, the NTP does not require the suppliers' action. The NTP will be sent to the agent who created the submission and copied to the supplier.
- Should there be any concerns with the NTP; the agent will be able to fully represent the supplier in this matter.
- The NTP will be attached to the email notification as a pdf document. Therefore, the supplier will no longer be required to request access to NISS or to login to NISS to review the NTP.
- As part of the NTP process, the agent may be asked to submit some doucments (e.g., Organic Certificate) or complete some forms (e.g., Label Examination form). These transactions will now also be done online as part of our continuous efforts to reduce paper usage.
- No extra action is required from the agent or the supplier. If you already have access to NISS, you will automatically be able to view any NTPs that are created for your submission.
LCBO staff use NISS to log, track and approve or decline submissions. This new tool speeds up the application process and reduces turn-around times.
You are encouraged to become familiar with NISS now.
