Includes bibliographical references. "The Office of the Procurement Ombud (OPO), in consultation with industry and government buyers, has identified the following 5 foundational changes currently needed in federal procurement: 1. Establishment of a Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) position accountable for the federal procurement function; 2. Creation of a government-wide Vendor Performance Management (VPM) system; 3. Development of 1 universally applicable set of federal procurement rules; 4. Increased usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancements to modernize federal procurement tools, systems and processes; 5. Establishment of a government-wide framework for procurement data collection to increase transparency in federal procurements and facilitate informed decisions. For each of these foundational changes, this study discusses the current state of issues acting as the impetus for change and why the change is needed. The study also highlights learning opportunities from other jurisdictions that have successfully navigated some of these challenges, and also explores what the implementation of similar approaches could look like in the Canadian federal procurement system.Further to the 5 foundational changes noted above, consultations with procurement experts revealed additional important changes needed in federal procurement. Three of these topics, namely changes in the realms of (i) Indigenous procurement, (ii) defence procurement, and (iii) innovation and partnerships, are highlighted in the Annex to this report"--Purpose of the study, page 4.
