Did you know that the Government of Canada buys $15-20 billion worth of goods and services each year? Do you think they only buy from big companies? Would you be surprised to learn that many of these contracts are awarded to small businesses in Canada? Let us help you decide if selling to the Government of Canada is appropriate for you.

Procurement Assistance Canada - Ontario Region  gets you a “glimpse behind the curtain” in this interactive workshop on the process used by federal government procurement officers to evaluate bids, award contracts, and purchase services.

In this session you will act as a Government of Canada Contracting Officer/Technical Authority. The exercise will be to evaluate sample bids against criteria from a fictitious tender, or RFP document. Improve your bidding strategies by learning:

• some common mistakes bidders make, and how to avoid them;
• how and when to ask questions; and
• best practices for creating your own bids.

This session is designed for SME owners/representatives with bidding experience or those who have attended PAC Seminars in the past.
