Modernize and streamline procurement
Amazon Business Canada empowers federal, provincial, and municipal government entities by streamlining procurement and enhancing operational efficiency. With access to over 53 million goods and services, from office supplies to first responder equipment, organizations benefit from business-only pricing and purchasing compliance features that allow organizations to manage and guide purchasing to preferred, restricted and blocked product categories.
Access to group purchasing organizations (GPO) like Kinetic and OECM helps address provincial and federal regulatory and compliance needs. Amazon Business is well positioned to help public service organizations to help reduce procurement complexity, increase visibility and achieve spend goals. This support is available in both official languages and in a manner that addresses all provincial priorities, including Quebec.
