During this workshop, you'll learn how to:

  • Determine if the Government of Canada purchases your goods or services
  • Understand the contracting process
  • Register in supplier databases
  • Build networks and promote your business
  • Search for opportunities
  • Take advantage of procurement information on Buyandsell.gc.ca

  • Bid on opportunities
