PWGSC has an important ally in its efforts to help Canada grow and prosper: the private sector.

The department buys everything from toothbrushes and tile settings, to computers and consulting services from thousands of companies across Canada each year. In any one year, we deal with approximately 50,000 contracts totaling $8 billion, making us Canada's largest purchasing organization. We buy for approximately 100 federal departments and agencies.

In this part of our site, you will find out how you can participate in the contract tendering process and learn the nuts and bolts of selling to the Government of Canada.

You'll learn more, as well, about some of our really big projects and how you can benefit: the Esquimalt Graving Dock, Contracts Canada, Digital Simulation Laboratory, Environmental Services, TERMIUM® (Government of Canada Linguistic Data Bank) and much, much more.

We look forward to working with you!
