What it does
Procurement Leadership ensures the effective management of the procurement function by: - overseeing the development and deployment of government-wide strategies and policies; - designing processes and tools to preserve the integrity of the federal procurement system; - engaging stakeholders and providing them with direction and guidance; and - supporting collaborative procurement with other Canadian jurisdictions. This program ensures sound procurement stewardship through leading practices in procurement management, effective risk management, a robust policy framework and effective performance management, in order to support federal departments and other Canadian public sector jurisdictions in delivering their programs, while providing best value and contributing to Canada’s socio-economic goals.
