Canadian Collaborative Procurement Initiative: How to join

Currently 12 provinces and territories and 1 Canadian public health organisation have signed agreements with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). The agreement enables them to use specific Government of Canada procurement tools to buy goods and services.

Your institution may also be eligible to use PSPC’s procurement tools through your respective province or territory. Eligible organizations include municipalities, academic institutions, schools and hospitals (MASH) sector entities.
