Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), with the support of the Department of National Defence (DND), Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO) and Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), Transport Canada (TC), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), as well as Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), will present a virtual National Marine Procurement Outlook at the annual Mari-Tech conference on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 12:30-15:30 EDT. Due to COVID-19 travel and meeting restrictions, the conference will be taking place virtually this year. All participating departments will provide an overview of upcoming procurements in areas such as small vessel construction, vessel repair, refit and life extension, in-service support, sustainment, vessel chartering and other special projects in the realm of marine equipment. In addition, we will be presenting on these important topics: Industrial and Technological Benefits 101, Vendor Performance Management and Cyber Security.

Please note that registration for the Outlook session is separate from the Mari-Tech conference registration and participation is free of charge. Registration is limited to 500 participants.
We will also be offering Government-to-Business (G2B) meetings during the week following Mari-Tech conference. Registration for these meetings will open after the Outlook session through the conference platform. We have changed the format of our G2B meetings and will be discussing Innovation, Greening and HR Capacity with those interested in meeting with our PSPC representatives. We are establishing working groups around each of these very important topics to the Canadian marine industry.
