Building Ontario Businesses Initiative

The Building Ontario Businesses Initiative (BOBI) is a province-wide program developed by the government to leverage the role public sector procurement can play in economic development. ​BOBI creates a level playing field that reduces barriers and provides Ontario businesses with greater access to procurement opportunities.​ BOBI is designed to allow the province to continue doing business with its trade partners while addressing the needs of the local economy. The initiative will also strengthen Ontario’s supply chain resiliency so the province is prepared for any future emergencies.

Building Ontario Businesses Initiative – A Guide for Buyers

To support buyers in applying strategies under BOBI into procurement decisions and processes, Supply Ontario and Treasury Board Secretariat have developed a guidance document.
