Ever wonder what the federal government buys and how the process works? This session takes you inside the journey of a federal buyer and a contracting authority—from identifying a need, developing the requirements, to posting a tender. You’ll learn who the key players are, how procurement methods are selected, and how requirements are shaped.

Led by Procurement Assistance Canada, this session is designed to help suppliers understand how solicitations are developed and how to make the most of the question period.
