Shared Services Canada (SSC) has launched a new simplified approach to IT procurement. Agile Procurement Process 3.0 (APP 3.0) makes it easier for businesses of all sizes to compete for government of Canada contracts.
APP 3.0 engages vendors throughout the process, starting with the initial design of the solicitation and problem statement. This way, the government gets the best, most innovative proposals possible.
Under APP 3.0, contracts are awarded to selected vendors so they can produce prototypes. This lets government officials assess real-world examples of proposed solutions and choose the solution that delivers the best value to Canada and Canadians.
APP 3.0 was developed by SSC's Centre of Expertise in Agile and Innovative Procurement, in collaboration with TECHNATION and in consultation with numerous vendors. APP 3.0 takes a highly collaborative approach to procurement that will help the government meet its socio-economic and climate-related policy objectives.
