Description
Do you offer IT goods, services, or solutions? Are you a micro or small business that is either indigenous or owned/led by an underrepresented group? We know that the procurement process can be slow, complex and non-inclusive: this is why we created ScaleUp.
ScaleUp is a new social procurement pilot initiative that helps make the procurement process easier, faster and aims to diversify who receives contracts. Led by the Center of Expertise in Agile and Innovative Procurement (CoEAIP) from Shared Services Canada (SSC), ScaleUp targets micro & small businesses that are either indigenous businesses or businesses owned or led by underrepresented groups (women, visible minorities and/or persons with disabilities). Our vision is to award hundreds of IT-related contracts -each valued up to $238,000- to these businesses. ScaleUp includes user-friendly, intuitive and interactive solicitation documents that allow an expedited and simplified solicitation process that can be usually completed within two weeks.

If you wish to increase your visibility under ScaleUp as a supplier, register on Canada’s Digital Marketplace (CDM) powered by TECHNATION at technationportal.ca. It’s free. The CDM will be leveraged to send some future opportunities directly to registered suppliers.
