Correctional Service Canada national procurement plan, fiscal year 2012-2013

PDF

Introduction

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is the federal government agency responsible for administering sentences of a term of two years or more, as imposed by the courts. CSC is responsible for managing institutions of various security levels and supervising offenders under conditional release in the community.
The objective of this CSC National Procurement Plan is to provide industry and the public information regarding the anticipated CSC contracting activities for fiscal year 2012-2013, including a list of planned major procurement requirements.

For an overview of CSC's procurement functions, activities and general procurement strategy, this information is discussed in CSC's National Procurement Plan 2011-2012.

CSC Procurement Planning

CSC is producing its second National Procurement Plan, as part of its business planning cycle, to identify and assess projected procurement activities and provide strategic information on the purchases the department makes to fulfill its mandate and meet its operational requirements.
As a result of improved procurement planning, the Department has been able to better plan its purchases and standardize its requirements in high spending areas such as IT equipment and services. These strategies combined with others such as volume discounts and maximizing the use of consolidated procurement tools, have generated ongoing procurement efficiencies at CSC.

CSC's Projected Major Procurement Activities

The level of CSC contracting activity, both in terms of dollar value and transactions, is expected to drop slightly as compared to the 2012/2013 fiscal year. This is due to the current climate of fiscal restraint and as well as the streamlining of procurement requests.

CSC's procurement planning process requires that all branches and regional offices identify their projected major procurement activities. The list includes projected major procurement activities for fiscal year 2012-2013. In adherence with the principles of access and transparency, the list aims to provide potential suppliers a view of CSC's planned procurement activities in order for them to be prepared to respond to the demand.

Table 1 provides a list of major planned procurement activities and was derived from input from internal stakeholders. Important points on the list of projected major procurement activities:

Fair, Open and Transparent

Like any other department that procures goods and services to meet its own corporate objectives, CSC strategically manages procurement spending, risks and efficiencies through an established departmental procurement governance structure. This structure is complemented by a framework to ensure that contracting and materiel management activities at CSC are conducted in a fair, open and transparent manner resulting in value for money and sound stewardship of public funds.
CSC demonstrates leadership in effective procurement management as well as in greening government through the integration of environmental performance into its procurement decision-making processes. This helps CSC and the Government of Canada achieve environmental benefits, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of energy efficiency.

Resources

Statistics on purchases and contracts conducted by departments and agencies is available publicly as part of the Government of Canada's annual 2010 Purchasing Activity Report. This report is used to provide statistical analysis of the processes and tools through which government contracting is conducted.
