A Standing Offer Agreement (SOA) is an offer from a vendor to supply goods and/or services at pre-arranged prices and under the terms and conditions stated in the SOA.

The GNWT establishes Standing Offer Agreements for commonly used services and products that may be used by all departments and agencies of the GNWT.

The GNWT initiated a review of how it contracts and purchases goods and services (known as procurement).

An independent panel advisory panel was appointed by the Minister of Industry, Tourism, and Investment to engage with Indigenous governments and organizations, elected leaders, the business community, stakeholders, and residents on this important issue.

The Independent Panel for the Procurement Review has completed the engagement and research phase on procurement in the GNWT, which has informed the Report on the Procurement Review.

Our Help section includes frequently asked questions, access to training resources and procurement forms, advice on how to get paid in a timely fashion, and the Vendor Complaint Process.
