Individual user agreements

As not all federal departments and agencies have signed the new Master level user agreements, the individual method of supply User Agreements are still in force. To see if your department or agency has an Individual user agreement, please follow the links to the applicable method(s) of supply.

For the following methods of supply, please contact the applicable SA Authority to determine if your department or agency has signed an Individual user agreement.

To obtain a Master user level agreement

If a federal Department/Agency/User requires access to a Method of Supply that its organization does not have an existing Individual user agreement or an MLUA as listed above, then the user will be required to submit an email request to spts.tsps@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca, in order to commence the process to obtain a Master level user agreement. As part of the email please include the name, title and mailing address of the delegated authority for your organization, which must be at an Assistant Deputy Minister (equivalent) or higher level in order for PSPC to address the MLUA for signature. Once signed by the delegated authority and subject to the acceptance by PSPC, the department/agency/user will be advised of any next steps by each Method of Supply and the MLUA listing as noted above will be updated accordingly.
