What it does
The Procurement Program supports the daily operations of the Government of Canada as the government’s central purchasing agent. It ensures the effective management of the procurement function by:
- Providing effective, efficient and fair commercial, defence and marine procurement services, by leading procurement strategies and processes on behalf of clients and putting procurement instruments in place while ensuring best value and contributing to Canada’s socio-economic goals;
- Overseeing the development and deployment of strategies and policies;
- Designing modern processes and tools to preserve the integrity of the federal procurement system; and,
- Delivering procurement information and education services; and
- Engaging stakeholders and providing them with direction and guidance.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2022-23. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Procurement Leadership | Earlier program (name match, low confidence) | 2018-19 – 2023-24 | $521M |
| Procurement Services | Earlier program (name match, low confidence) | 2018-19 – 2023-24 | $578M |
| Procurement Program | This program | 2022-23 – 2028-29 | $609M |
Significant changes in scope and budget
Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.
