This resource guide will walk you and your business through basic functions in SAP Fieldglass. SAP Fieldglass is a new procurement tool being used by the Government of Canada that enables you to submit candidates, accept work orders, and submit time and expenses for invoicing for any services contracts that you may hold with Public Services and Procurement Canada.

To conduct business with the Government of Canada, businesses are required to respond to tender opportunities, which is a bidding process where those responding need to demonstrate their ability and capability of meeting the predetermined requirements to be granted the opportunity to provide goods or services to the Government of Canada. Through the transition to CanadaBuys, tender opportunities will be posted on Ariba Discovery, the SAP Ariba platform being used by the Government of Canada for procurement.

This exciting change will better serve all Canadian businesses wanting to sell to the Government of Canada, regardless of their size or geographic location.
