We help governments around the world source and acquire customized Canadian solutions through G2G contracts.
Ministries responsible for major public infrastructure for whom the urgency of the acquisition, the risk of a failed tender or the risk of bribery and corruption are sufficient enough to make the case for an alternative approach to tendering the project competitively.
Ministries responsible for national security or defence for whom competitive tendering is not feasible for urgent or national security reasons, and are willing to exercise the national security exception to competitive tendering.
State-owned enterprises and sub-national governmental entities that are looking to scale up or transform the delivery of public services and require expertise and technology unavailable in their domestic supply base.
