New to the SBIE for 2019, OSME will offer an interactive Master Class sessions (space limited) on government procurement topics:

Bid Evaluation Master Class 1:30 - 2:30 pm

  • Get a "glimpse behind the curtain" from procurement professionals on the process used to evaluate bids and award contracts for the federal government. Learn about mandatory and point-rated criteria, the basis of selection, and the kinds of questions which can be asked during the process.


The Canadian Industrial Security Directorate (CISD) information session on the Contract Security Program 3:00 – 4:30 pm

This presentation provides information on what you need to know and most importantly, what you need to do, when your organization is considering bidding on a government contract that has security requirements. We will explain:

  • what the Contract Security Program is all about, its role, policies and processes, including recent program changes
  • what you need to know about contract security requirements and about having to register in the program.
  • your roles and responsibilities in meeting the security requirements of sensitive government contracts as well as maintaining compliance with the Contract Security Program
