GATINEAU, Quebec, June 20, 2013 — The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women, is pleased to announce that as of June 1, 2013 the Government Electronic Tendering Service is hosted on Buyandsell.gc.ca—the authoritative source on Government of Canada procurement information.
“The Harper Government is leading the way in transparency and open data to spur innovation and economic opportunity,” said Minister Ambrose. “Our Government is committed to doing business better and improving how we bring buyers and suppliers together.”
Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders allows businesses and the general public to easily search federal government tender opportunities, standing offers, supply arrangements and contract history at no charge. Suppliers can also receive feeds for amendments to bid solicitations. The new service will allow suppliers to customize their access, including subscribing to automatic notifications for amendments to tenders, all free of charge.
