Calgary, AB magnifies the social impacts of public purchases with Benefit Driven Procurement

Calgary, AB Benefit Driven Procurement Social Impact

Benefit Driven Procurement prioritizes socially responsible local vendors in Calgary's procurement processes. Requests for proposals include a BDP questionnaire with questions about city priorities like staff diversity and living wage policies. Decisionmakers choose local vendors for minor purchases as often as possible. The BPD pilot also requires at least three quotes - including one local vendor - for services under CAD 75,000 and construction projects under CAD 200,000.
