Proposed
Professional Services National Strategy
Description
Resulting from 12 months of extensive consultation with
federal departments and suppliers, the Proposed Professional
Services National Strategy seeks to reduce red tape,
increase access and reduce the administrative burden
when procuring professional services through:
- A single governance on a
national scale;
- Common
business rules;
- Access
through a single web portal known as the Centralized Professional
Services System (CPSS);
- Increased
support for statements of work and evaluation criteria; and
- Consolidated
training for government departments.
At the Breakfast Session, you will learn about the
future of professional services procurement within the Government
of Canada and be given the opportunity to provide input
on the proposed strategy.

Presentaion: Proposed Professional Services National Procurement Strategy
|
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has undertaken a complete review of professional services procurement with the objective of developing a national strategy. Resulting from 12 months of extensive consultation, the draft strategy aims to provide a consistent and uniform national approach for the procurement of professional services through five key elements:
- Single governance on a national scale;
- Common business rules;
- Access through a single web portal known as the Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS);
- Increased support for building statements of work and evaluation criteria; and,
- Consolidated training for government departments.
When implemented, this strategy will improve the quality of services to client departments; enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement process; provide simplified business rules; promote accountability; and, respond to regional and local variations.
Both suppliers and client departments have the opportunity to comment on the draft strategy until October 7, 2011.
Clients can access the draft strategy on the Procurement Community on GCPEDIA: http://www.gcpedia.gc.ca/wiki/Procurement_community/Goods_and_services/

Please forward any questions you may have on this information to: ServicesProfessionnels.ProfessionalServices@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.
PWGSC appreciates your feedback and will give careful consideration to all the input that is provided when finalizing the strategy.
