Methods Of Supply

Background

The Centralized Professional Services System (CPSS) was launched on July 2, 2010. This is phase 1 of a multi-phased initiative aimed at providing Federal Government Departments and Agencies a centralized system to procure professional services. One of its primary goals is harmonizing the methods of supply for professional services, which previously used stand-alone on-line applications. Phase 1 of this initiative has provided Federal Government Departments and Agencies an electronic search tool where clients can search for pre-qualified suppliers for the above-mentioned four methods of supply. Subsequent phases will include such enhancements as providing Suppliers the ability to maintain their contact information, an online CPSS client enrolment portal, solicitation management as well as reporting capabilities and integration of additional professional services methods of supply.
