Information Technology Procurement Community of Practice

The IT Procurement Community of Practice will assess opportunities for the Government of Canada, and provincial, territorial governments, and representatives from the Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) to leverage existing and/or newly created IT agreements to the benefit of all participating governments and their citizenry.

The intent of this collaborative effort is to take advantage of the collective spending power and influence of the federal, provincial and territorial governments and MISA to drive better procurement deals that will:

• reduce prices;
• provide contractual terms and conditions that strike the right balance between protection for citizens and commercial reasonableness;
• reduce administrative costs for governments by reducing duplication of effort across jurisdictions; and,
• reduce the propensity of I&IT vendors to treat Canadian jurisdictions differently.
