Understanding Procurement in Canada
Procurement is the process the Government of Canada uses to buy goods and services. Part of the process is finding the right suppliers, ensuring fairness, and creating value for Canadians. The process includes the government posting available contracts to the public and suppliers bidding for these contracts. Contracts are awarded to the best valued bid.
In 2021, the Government of Canada introduced a mandatory policy requiring federal departments and agencies to allocate at least 5% of the total value of their contracts to Indigenous businesses. Anowara Solutions was created to help satisfy this federal requirement.
