Fairness monitoring
The Fairness Monitoring Program provides client departments, government suppliers, Parliament and Canadians with independent assurance that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) conducts its procurement activities in a fair, open and transparent way.
Learn how fairness monitoring works
The program retains and manages the services of independent fairness monitors who act as objective third parties to observe all or part of a procurement activity.
Fairness monitoring helps PSPC to:
- provide real-time monitoring during the procurement process
- deal with fairness monitoring issues early in the process to avoid possible costly after-the-fact resolutions
- ensure that procurement activities are carried out with integrity
- enhance public trust in the way the Government of Canada does business
Access the fairness monitoring reports
Fairness monitors provide reports which contain their observations, impartial opinions and professional attestations on the monitored procurement activity.
The reports are available to the public and are subject to limits of disclosure under the:

The assessment is optional for any other federal departmental activity or real property transaction that is not subject to a mandatory assessment but where an enhanced assurance of fairness, openness and transparency is desired.
