The Supplier Development Program promotes the growth and development of small and medium-sized enterprises within the province. This program helps Newfoundland and Labrador firms supply quality goods and services at competitive costs to public and private sector entities in local, national and international markets.
The Department of Innovation, Business and Rural Development collaborates with public sector entities, industry associations and private sector companies to help local firms identify potential buyers for their products and services, navigate and interpret the procurement process, access supply opportunities, and establish mutually beneficial vendor-buyer partnerships.
This program provides Newfoundland and Labrador companies with the opportunity to demonstrate their new, innovative, products, services or technologies in a public sector setting. Businesses will be able to showcase their innovative solutions with public sector entities such as government departments and agencies, crown corporations, municipalities, academic institutions, school boards and health care facilities. Businesses will receive feedback on whether the public sector could be a potential market for the demonstrated solution.
