We engage directly with prime suppliers, but we also engage with the entire supply chain. We do one-on-one consultations with small and medium-sized businesses. We have over 3,000 contacts with them each year. We have a dedicated office, the office of small and medium enterprises, that helps ensure that Canadian businesses in Canada have access to our procurements.
There are also process adjustments that we can do, such as ensuring their non-exclusive bidding arrangements. In other words, SMEs can be part of several teams in a procurement, and that allows them to maximize what they have to offer and maximize the chances of their being successful.
