Federal Procurement Competence Centre

Federal unit that trains, advises, and supports procurement offices and requesting offices across the Confederation.

The Federal Procurement Competence Centre trains, advises, and supports procurement offices and requesting offices on goods and services procurement across the Confederation.

It is different from the strategic role of the Federal Procurement Conference and different again from an office that buys in its own category. Its job is to build know-how and support sound application of the rules.

For bidders, it usually stays in the background. Its effect shows up in how consistent and professionally run federal procurement processes are.
