For government buyers and for suppliers.

Partners In Procurement is a public sector procurement advisory practice. We run procurement files for public buyers at every level of government: federal departments and agencies, Crown corporations, provinces and territories, and municipalities, in any commodity. We also help suppliers answer solicitations from any of them. Services are offered in English and French.

We do not only advise. We execute. You make the decisions.

For government

Procurement leads and program leads hire the practice to run a file: strategy, complex procurement, statements of work, evaluation grids, Treasury Board submissions, agile procurement, and governance.

The buyer can be a federal department or agency, a Crown corporation, a province or territory, or a municipality. The commodity can be information technology, professional services, construction, goods, or something else.

For suppliers

Businesses hire the practice to respond to a public-sector solicitation: bid strategy, a close reading of the documents, writing or reviewing the proposal, a compliance check, and submission when the supplier needs it. The supplier still signs off on the final bid.

No award rate is published. Do not read the buyer-side figures on this page as bid results.

Partners In Procurement provides the expertise and capacity you need to execute with confidence.

These are the buyer-side engagements already on the record. The organizations are not named.

The practice has managed the biggest files in Ottawa. Capacity inside the buying organization is often why a file stalls. How an engagement runs sets out the steps. Contact is the same channel for both paths: marco@getprocurement.ca or 613-315-7390.
