The Supplier Development Program was established in May 2004 with the goal of providing Nova Scotia businesses knowledge of the Government procurement process and an understanding of how to access publicly funded procurement opportunities both in Nova Scotia and beyond.
We want to maximize the positive impact of public sector expenditures on goods, services and construction to grow and diversify our economy, and to improve the sustainable competitiveness of Nova Scotia businesses

 Reverse Trade Shows
The Reverse Trade Show is a twist on the traditional trade show that allows sellers to visit government display booths to discuss their products or services with the people who actually do the buying.
The Reverse Trade Show concept has been developed to work collaboratively across government departments, throughout the broader public sector, and with our community and business partners. The Reverse Trade Shows are meant to strengthen the relationships and understanding between public and private interests in Nova Scotia, and to assist in building a thriving economy by encouraging small and medium-sized businesses to become a part of the procurement process by bidding on government tenders.
Some of the objectives of the Reverse Trade Shows include:
- inform Nova Scotia businesses about opportunities, and answer questions about the procurement process
- give buyers and suppliers a chance to meet face to face to tell us about their goods and services
- increase the number of suppliers responding to tenders and standing offers
- assist local businesses to become more competitive, and inform businesses about the role of the Department of Economic Development and its agencies in supporting the growth of the provincial economy
