The National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy- Changing the playing field for shipbuilding in Canada
National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy is a fundamental shift in the way that the Federal Government in Canada procures major ships for the Navy and the Coast Guard. Shipbuilding policy has been in a state of flux for many years as has ship procurement with many prolonged and in some cases failed procurements.
A new approach was required as both the Naval and Coast Guard fleets were in desperate need of replacement. An interdepartmental task force developed the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy as a way of addressing the need for a new policy. The new policy was adopted by the government and launched in 2010. Since then, the NSPS is in the process of being implemented with a number of contracts being let for a number of specific projects now underway
Why should you Attend:
Apart from the United States, the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy is the largest military shipbuilding program underway in the Western world today. It is estimated that the Government spend more than $40 billion on these projects over the next 25 years providing opportunities for Canadian and foreign suppliers. You need to understand the program so that your company can take advantage of these opportunities, particularly since Canadian supply chains have atrophied over the past twenty years.Areas Covered in the Session:
