What it does
The Acquired Services and Assets (ASA) program aims to strengthen the management of assets and acquired services within the Government of Canada through the development and implementation of policy instruments governing procurement, real property, materiel management, investment planning and project management. Through its policies, advice, support and oversight (monitoring, performance measurement and reporting), the ASA program assists federal departments and agencies in providing value for money and sound stewardship in the management of their assets and acquired services. The ASA program also strengthens the professional capacity of the Procurement, Materiel Management and Real Property Communities throughout the public service through a range of capacity building and community development initiatives.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2019-20. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Results and Performance Reporting Policies and Initiatives | Earlier program (name match, low confidence) | 2017-18 – 2020-21 | $9.2M |
| Acquired Services and Assets Policies and Initiatives | This program | 2019-20 – 2024-25 | $39.9M |
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.
