Modernizing public sector procurement to support economic development and bolster resiliency in Ontario supply chains

Supply Ontario has a mandate to transform and modernize the public sector procurement ecosystem, while delivering significantly improved value and outcomes through centralization.  

The agency’s modernization approach strives to achieve the most strategic use of public procurement to build resiliency and sustainability in Ontario supply chains, spur innovation, support economic development, and boost domestic production of critical goods during a time of increased global risks and economic uncertainties.  

We will achieve this by:   

  • Improving the client experience and data-driven decision making through a newly designed and successfully launched Digital Procurement Solution.  
  • Driving process efficiencies and reducing red tape barriers, including accessibility. 
  • Strategically positioning the province to prepare and respond to supply chain disruptions, emergencies, and global risks. 
  • Leveraging technology and data to enhance client experience and accelerate growth.
