This is the third year that the report has been produced and incorporates several enhancements since its initial production as summarized below. Please Note: The GN has introduced changes to the Procurement Activity Report (formerly known as the Procurement & Contracting Report) as part of its ongoing efforts to improve reporting and enhance transparency and accountability. These changes include the: • the addition of a table showing the distribution of contracts by GN department; • the inclusion of prior year comparisons, wherever possible, and • the introduction of a $5,000 threshold for contract reporting purposes consistent with recommendations provided by the memebers of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Accountability. Objective CGS is committed to ensuring fair value and ethical practices in meeting its responsibilities. This is accomplished through effective policies and procedures aimed at: • Obtaining the best value for Nunavummiut overall; • Creating a fair and open environment for vendors; • Maintaining current and accurate information; and • Ensuring effective approaches to meet the GN's requirements. Introduction The Procurement Activity Report presents statistical information and contract detail about GN contracts reported by GN departments to CGS's Procurement, Logistics and Contract Support Services. It should be noted that contracts entered into by the GN Crown agencies and Legislative Assembly are not reported to CGS and are not included in this report.
