Procurement Services & Procurement Canada (PSPC) and the Canadian Institute for Procurement and Materiel Management (CIPMM) Ontario Chapter are pleased to present an important information session on PSPC’s Supplier Diversity Action Plan on April 27, 2022.

CIPMM Pacific Chapter is pleased to present a complimentary session on Contract Security Program (CSP). We have invited Alexandre Parent and his team to speak about CSP’s new changes that came into effect on October 4, 2021. These changes are necessary to improve the delivery of contract security services, better integrate contract security requirements in the procurement lifecycle and provide a more robust security clearance process for active procurements.

Speakers from Contract Security Program (CSP) were invited to deliver a two part presentation about new changes to the program that came into effect on October 4, 2021 and how to process Contract Security. The recent changes are necessary to improve the delivery of contract security services, better integrate contract security requirements in the procurement lifecycle and provide a more robust security clearance process for active procurements. The second part of the presentation provided guidance to clients relating to the completion of Security Requirement Checklist (SRCL) and was followed by a Q&A session.

The 2hr session drew 124 participants which included procurement and materiel management professionals , project managers, leasing officers and project authorities from PSPC and other government departments.

CIPMM in partnership with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), Western Region, School of Procurement is pleased to announce the “Learning @ Sunrise” session entitled:

“Learn, Engage, and Explore. How to improve my business acumen skills in one morning”!

The Government of Canada Procurement Competency Profiles have been updated to include 5 new technical competencies: Business Acumen; Data Analytics; Negotiations; Project Management and Risk Management. Take charge of your procurement career by attending this morning learning event. 

The event will take place at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, located at The Forks in downtown Winnipeg, where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet. The Museum stands on land rich with history and ancestral significance. For thousands of years, Indigenous people followed its waterways for peacemaking, dialogue and trade. Today, this ancestral land continues to be a meeting spot for connecting and exchanging ideas.

You will be connecting and exchanging ideas with colleagues, by working through an simulation case study that specifically addresses the value of applying good business acumen knowledge.  Business Acumen applies understanding of how industry and the Government of Canada work to achieve goals and objectives. It also includes risk management principles that are applied to all stages of the procurement process, where we assess and control threats that affect the results. The result is making evidence-based decisions when assuming, avoiding, transferring, mitigating sharing and compensating elements of risk. 

Benefits for government buyers:

• Having a clear understanding and knowledge of the new technical competencies.
• Being able to understand how you can develop the competencies to your skill sets.
• Being able to apply specifically business acumen best practices to procurement.

Speakers:

Host: Robyn Henry, Manager, Business Advisory Services, PSPC, Western Region
Facilitator: Al Garlinski, Regional Trainer, PSPC, Western Region, School of Procurement.
