Indigenous Procurement

Indigenous Procurement

As part of The City’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, we are working to reduce barriers and improve the capability for Indigenous-owned businesses to sell their products and services to The City.

Currently, we are developing an Indigenous Procurement Program to contribute to the social and economic reconciliation with Indigenous peoples while maintaining The City’s compliance with public procurement law. The Program is being developed by The City’s Supply Management business unit, with support from Indigenous Relations Office division, and will be shaped by input from Indigenous communities.

Visit engage.calgary.ca/IndigenousProcurement to learn:

  • How and when we’re gathering input.
  • What we’ve heard from Indigenous-owned businesses. 
  • How feedback will be used to shape the Indigenous Procurement program.

Please note: The Indigenous Procurement Program engagement page will contain the most up-to-date information while the Program is being developed.

Looking for opportunities?

If you are a member of an Indigenous business and are interested in finding out what City purchasing opportunities are available to you at this time, please visit our Purchasing Process page on calgary.ca.  

Many of these opportunities will contain The City’s Social Procurement Questionnaire as part of their evaluation criteria, which will give a competitive advantage to equity-deserving groups such as certified, Indigenous-owned companies.
