Vendor Information

 

 

 

Provincial procurement has a huge impact on Nova Scotia's economy. In 2009/2010, we procured more than $1 billion. About 86 percent of this was sourced locally.

Companies that want to sell to the province should be familiar with today's tender process. In particular, small and medium sized local companies benefit from knowing how, from whom, and why the province buys what it does.

For many tenders, local vendors have an advantage. The dollar amount of the tender and criteria such as sustainability create specific opportunities.

The Supplier Development Program helps vendors understand where to find tender opportunities. Nova Scotia's good and services are top notch.

We want to help our companies have every chance to compete in local markets and beyond.

With our on-site visits, workshops, and reverse trade shows, we are here to help you, the supplier, understand how to sell to the public sector.  

We want to hear from you. Call us at 902.424.6577. Send us an email at supdev@gov.ns.ca.
