The Office of the Procurement Ombud
Notice to stakeholders
Following an amendment to an Order in Council, the title of the role of “Procurement Ombudsman” was changed to “Procurement Ombud” to promote gender and linguistic neutrality. Please be advised that the name of the office will be updated from “Office of the Procurement Ombudsman” to “Office of the Procurement Ombud” to reflect the new title.
The Office of the Procurement Ombud is a neutral and independent organization of the Government of Canada that helps resolve contracting disputes between businesses and the federal government. We investigate complaints and provide dispute resolution services to help parties get back to business when issues arise. We also review widespread federal contracting issues and provide recommendations on how to improve them.
