Mississauga, ON, Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TECHNATION, Canada\u2019s leading technology industry association, today gathered industry leaders, government officials and small-medium technology enterprises (SMEs) to demonstrate how adopting more agile and accessible government procurement as the \u2018new normal\u2019 can result in cutting-edge innovation adoption and improved service delivery to Canadians, while fueling economic growth.<\/p>\n

At the foundation is CANADA\u2019S DIGITAL MARKETPLACE,\u00a0powered by TECHNATION<\/b><\/a> which delivers a platform for change around the future of industry-government collaboration and agile technology procurement. Supported by a growing alliance of nine National Partners, 16 Community Outreach Partners, and 338 registered technology companies from across the country, the Digital Marketplace is paving the way towards innovative technology adoption and digital government transformation across Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring technology innovators of\u00a0all<\/i>\u00a0sizes and types can participate in the government procurement process across all levels of government is a key focus for TECHNATION, and another step towards truly digital government in Canada,\u201d said Angela Mondou, president, TECHNATION. \u201cThe goal is improved service delivery to Canadians, a more competitive global economy, technology solutions that will drive innovation and creativity, and a greater ability to adapt to whatever the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n

TECHNATION\u2019s recently-announced collaborative agile procurement pilot<\/b><\/a> with Shared Services Canada (SSC), leveraging the Digital Marketplace, provides significant benefits to both government and industry, including enabling greater outreach, improved access and participation with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the challenge-based procurement process. And a new initiative within the pilot, \u2018SCALE UP\u2019, will target minority-led \/ minority-owned tech firms in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWith this new approach to procurement, there is a real opportunity to engage with SMEs early in this very complex ecosystem servicing the Government of Canada,\u201d added Coreen Bouchard, founder, PureLogic IT Solutions. \u00a0\u201cThanks to the improved process, we anticipate a better use of SME\u2019s limited resources to respond to government procurement opportunities along with the ability to engage in paid prototypes and the transparent evaluation grids that will better equip the SME community in showcasing innovation to the Government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The win-win end result for Canada is the alignment of economic opportunities that federal purchasing power represents with urgent needs of government for digital solutions to execute virtual shovel ready projects delivered by innovative technology firms, particularly SMEs, across our nation.<\/p>\n
