Discover our procurement coaching service for equity-deserving businesses

Procurement Assistance Canada's coaching service provides personalized assistance to businesses owned by diverse groups who have had limited success bidding on federal government opportunities.

Participating businesses work one-on-one with a coach to improve on the areas of the bidding process where they need assistance. Coaching sessions include reviewing online resources and completing activities to familiarize bidders with information and tasks that can help them submit compliant and competitive bids. Participation in coaching does not guarantee a contract.

The coaching service includes:

• An introductory meeting with a coach to review the procurement process and prepare for coaching discussions
• 3 hours of one-on-one coaching
• Personalized assistance to address the specific areas of bidding where your business requires additional support
• Activities and discussion to address the most common questions from unsuccessful bidders: how to find the best opportunities for your business, how to create compliant bids, how to create a custom bidding roadmap for your business, how to create a bidding template from the solicitation documents
• A participant guide with bidding resources and tools
