Description

The Government of Canada is committed to renewing and strengthening its economic relationship with Indigenous entrepreneurs and communities by providing increased economic opportunities to First Nations, Inuit and Métis businesses through the federal procurement process. Indigenous Peoples in Canada, as well as their business ventures, face unique challenges, and this is reflected in lowered levels of participation in federal contracting. Indigenous Peoples in Canada comprise approximately 5% of the overall Canadian population; however, they may not be receiving the equivalent percentage of federal contracts. Through collaboration between Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), the Government of Canada implemented a mandatory requirement for federal departments and agencies to ensure a minimum of 5 % of the total value of contracts are held by Indigenous businesses. This requirement includes public reporting and will be phased in over 3 years, beginning in 2022, with a number of federal departments who are ready to immediately begin this work, with full implementation expected by 2025. The 5% target seeks to leverage government spending to help grow Indigenous businesses and improve the socio-economic conditions of Indigenous communities. This has the potential to improve the lives of not just Indigenous Peoples, but all Canadians. The 5% Indigenous procurement mandatory target results dataset provides information related to the federal government's efforts to meet the mandatory minimum 5% Indigenous procurement target. This dataset includes data from 96 government departments and agencies in Canada. The data is based on reports submitted by the organizations and is subject to their accuracy and completeness. The dataset currently includes data from fiscal year 2022-2023 only. Please note that phase 1 organizations were mandated to meet the target in fiscal year 2022-23. Phase 2 organizations must meet the target in fiscal year 2023-24 and Phrase 3 organizations have to meet the target in fiscal year 2024-25. These datasets represent a snapshot in time, based on reports submitted by federal departments and agencies (organizations) at the point of publication. Organizations are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their data. While updates may occur, these datasets are not revised retroactively. Where the most up-to-date information is required, users are encouraged to contact the relevant organization directly.
