Purchasing competitively and seeking maximum value for expenditures of public funds is an expectation for the entirety of RVS including all departments. To ensure open, fair, transparent and accountable purchasing practices are followed when procuring goods and services, expenditures of public funds must be made following mandated practices and legislation, including the New West Partnership Trade Agreement (NWPTA) and Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
All services on RVS sites require a service agreement. A service agreement may or may not be required for off-site services depending on the nature of the activities and venue.
