The Government of Canada is one of the largest buyers of goods and services in Canada. The list of what they buy is long and their needs may surprise you. Plus, contract values range from hundreds of dollars to billions so even if you have a small business they may be looking to buy what you’re selling!

Do you have questions about how you can sell your goods or services to the government or the IDEaS (Innovation for Defense Excellence and Security) program? Are you curious about bidding on federal contracts but not sure where to start?

We hosted Alexander Emesh from Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC) for an interactive discussion that includes:

• An overview of how the Government of Canada buys goods and services
• A Q&A session to get answers to procurement questions

Facilitator: Cathy Burrell, Client Service Coordinator, WeBC

Panelist: Alexander Emesh, Policy Analyst, Business Engagement, Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC)
