What is Buyandsell.gc.ca?

Buyandsell.gc.ca makes Government of Canada procurement a little bit easier by simplifying the way procurement information is shared on the Web. By accessing open procurement and contracting data, Buyandsell.gc.ca helps businesses and government buyers focus less on figuring out how to do business and more on doing business.

Why was Buyandsell.gc.ca created?

Buyandsell.gc.ca is an idea conceived by businesses and procurement professionals. They said government procurement was too complex and it would be nice to have one location to find simple but authoritative answers to everyday questions about Government of Canada procurement.

How has Buyandsell.gc.ca changed?

Since its early days, Buyandsell.gc.ca has provided information on how to buy and sell for the federal government. From a site primarily directing our visitors to external sites for tools, we have progressively added more features to increase the number of activities users can complete on our web site.

We brought the Supply Manual and the Standard Acquisitions Clauses and Conditions Manual under Buyandsell.gc.ca, making it accessible and functional in modern web browsers.

Recently, we introduced the Procurement Data section and improved the Search to get the latest procurement and contracting data into the hands of businesses and government visitors.
