Consultations on the Government Electronic Tendering System – Final Reports

Between May 13 and June 13, 2008, Public Works and Government Services Canada undertook a series of consultations with suppliers, provincial and territorial jurisdictions, and the federal government procurement community on key electronic tendering tools.

The purpose of the consultations was to obtain advice from stakeholders on how the Government of Canada could improve its e-tendering system. More specifically, information was requested on the following topics: current use of the e-tendering systems and any other approaches used; ways to improve the overall Government of Canada approach to e-tendering; ways to improve the Government of Canada's approach to providing web-based information on procurement; identifying priorities for future government tendering systems; and any additional input the participants wished to provide.

Consultations were carried out in-person and online, and the resulting feedback and suggestions have been compiled into three separate reports, which are now available. Please access the following page to view the Executive Summary and the Reports.
