Procurement Governance Office

The Province of British Columbia buys more than $4 billion worth of goods and services each year on behalf of British Columbians. Therefore, it is important to promote best practices that ensure an open and fair procurement process and value for the taxpayers of British Columbia.

In 2002, the Province established the Procurement Governance Office to modernize the government's corporate procurement policy, provide support and training to staff, and monitor compliance with procurement policies.

Key government accomplishments to date include:

  • Introduced a new Procurement Services Act to replace outdated legislation and enable the modern, efficient provision of government procurement services.
  • Implemented a Vendor Complaint Review Process to provide a consistent, fair and timely process to deal with vendor complaints concerning government procurement.
  • Updated the Standards of Conduct for public service employees engaged in government procurement processes.
