Presented by Public Services and Procurement Canada

Hosted by Public Services and Procurement Canada, the Public Sector Buyers Expo gave businesses a chance to network with federal government procurement experts at CFB Esquimalt. Attendees learned how government organizations buy, gained market insights, and explored how to position for upcoming public sector procurement opportunities, including in the defence and marine space. The free event featured presentations and an interactive tradeshow with federal and community partners exhibiting key procurement opportunities and business supports. It was geared toward smaller businesses interested in selling to the public sector, as well as existing contractors seeking partners and subcontractors.

Anu's Take

If you're providing outputs that the Canadian Government or Military use, you might as well figure out how to put your hat in the ring. Be there or be square.
