Upcoming Event - Friday June 18, 2010

Strengthening the Confidence of Canadians in Public Procurement

Speaker:

Shahid Minto
Procurement Ombudsman


Keynote Summary:

The Office of the Procurement Ombudsman has been in operation since May 2008 and is well known by Canadian suppliers and the procurement community of the Government of Canada. Its three lines of business - procurement practice reviews; inquiries and investigations; and, alternative dispute resolutions services - are serving its main objective of strengthening the confidence of Canadians in public procurement. The Ombudsman will share with us his findings and discuss potential areas for reviews and improvement for the road ahead.

Many small businesses find the process of trying to sell to the federal government difficult at best and mystifying at worst. This session will equip business owners with the keys needed to open the doors to these markets.

OCRI's Government Opportunities Breakfast is targeted to senior level executives and managers of small and medium-sized private sector IT companies. The goal of these sessions is to improve supplier and buyer awareness and simplify access to federal government purchasing information. This series will create a clear understanding of the requirements, roadblocks and opportunities that both the government and private sector face.
