How Financial Consumer Agency of Canada actually buys
Financial literacy and supervision.
Competition is the norm. Only 17.7% of contracts skip competition — among the most contestable buyers in government. Proposal craft and pricing discipline decide outcomes here; incumbency protections are thin.
Award sizes suit small and mid-size firms: many contracts, fast cycles, and responsiveness beats depth in most of them.
