Are you a business owner in search of new opportunities? Have you ever considered doing business with the Government of Canada? Every year, the federal government spends approximately $37 billion on goods, services, construction, and maintenance projects. This is a substantial market, so how can you get a share of it? The team at Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC), Atlantic Region, is here to guide you – making the process more accessible and less intimidating. PAC, part of Public Services and Procurement Canada ꟷ the main buyer for the federal government ꟷ supports a purchasing and procurement system that is fair, open, and transparent. PAC’s regional Outreach Officers support businesses through a range of free services – including interactive webinars, resources, personalized one-on-one consultations, and a procurement coaching service designed specifically for equity-deserving businesses, but that’s not all! Businesses that understand how federal procurement works are better equipped to navigate CanadaBuys – the gateway to federal procurement, identify relevant opportunities, submit competitive bids, and successfully pursue smaller-value contracts. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, PAC is here to help you navigate the federal procurement landscape with confidence. Ready to get started? Visit Canada.ca/PAC
