What do we buy

Public Services and Procurement Canada is to establish a NMSO for government departments, agencies, Crown corporations, and organizations participating in the Canadian Collaborative Procurement Initiative (CCPI).

The change management training standing offer (SO) is used for acquiring instructor led, classroom based, change management  training geared towards all levels of the workforce and specific to their respective roles in the execution of transformational change initiatives.

The training includes:
