The Ontario government is committed to supporting the participation of Ontario and Canadian businesses in public sector procurements.
The Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (MPBSDP) is seeking public input about how promotional, market engagement, and market creation could be used to boost their participation.
The surveys aim to:
- Assess effectiveness of current procurement opportunity advertising and engagement methods.
- Identify additional approaches public sector buyers could use to enhance participation.
- Identify challenges and gaps in procurement opportunity marketing and advertising that may hinder participation by Ontario, Canadian, and Indigenous businesses.
- Uncover systemic barriers to participation.
Help shape policy options on the use of promotional, market engagement, and market creation activities by filling out the survey:
