Request for Information-Indigenous Businesses

Amendment #1: This amendment is raised to include Question and Addenda deadlines, update the contact name, and to correct an error in part 1, question 1 of Annex A. ***************************************************************** Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) would like to increase the number of Indigenous businesses who bid on and receive procurement contracts from the department. Recognizing that identifying barriers is a first step to reach this goal, we are reaching out to Indigenous businesses for more information on their experiences with federal procurement processes. We want to know what is working, and what we need to do differently, so that more Indigenous businesses bid on our procurement opportunities.
