Procurement Change at Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC)

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is the Government of Canada’s central acquisition department, buying $20 billion in goods and services from thousands of suppliers each year.

PWGSC is now engaged in a process of procurement reform.

Supplier Consultation Meetings

To obtain suppliers’ perspectives and insights PWGSC has engaged The Conference Board of Canada to act as an independent third-party to facilitate consultations with supplier communities in three procurement categories:

  • Informatics Professional Services;
  • Temporary Help Services; and
  • Office Furniture.

Links to background documents on each of the three procurement categories are found below. The documents, prepared by the Conference Board, provide supplier communities with a common base of knowledge and understanding. They include a macro and micro market analysis of the procurement categories, an overview of the government’s current and intended procurement practices and strategies; and a summary of supplier perceptions and issues.
