Federal Public Sector Business Committee:

The Public Sector Business Committee consists of senior corporate business leaders from membership whose companies focus on sales to government. The committee meets 6 to 8 times a year to monitor, assess and advise on procurement policies and practices. Government officials are regular participants of the meetings and are given time to report at each meeting on progress made on IT procurement initiatives. The committee has councils for large transformational projects, professional services, telecom, and terms and conditions. These councils consist of interested members and are responsible for reviewing issues and presenting recommendations to government. Members can also access the member-only portal for:

• Committee Business – Schedule with agenda, meeting materials, working group information (there are currently 6 working groups, although these can change over time)
• Activities:  Advocacy or Government information
• News – members only news
• Archive – one year’s worth
• FAQs – most FAQ material would relate to SMEs, but there may be some for the PSBC generally.
