The Office of the Procurement Ombudsman (OPO) assists Canadian firms selling goods and services to the federal government and government officials purchasing those goods and services, to address procurement-related issues. The Office is an independent organization, available to help when contract-related issues arise that cannot be resolved between suppliers and federal organizations. The Office’s mission is “to promote fairness, openness and transparency in federal procurement” and its motto is “We are here to help!” The Office’s strategic objectives are focussed on the following three areas: * Educate: Raise awareness of procurement issues and exchange information. * Facilitate: De-escalate disputes and help resolve issues. * Investigate: Examine and review procurement issues. == History == In April 2006, the Government introduced the ''Federal Accountability Act'' and its associated action plan, which included the establishment of the position of Procurement Ombudsman. The position of Procurement Ombudsman was created through an amendment to the ''Department of Public Works and Government Services Act''. The Office became fully operational in May 2008 with the passing of the ''Procurement Ombudsman Regulations'' which provide specifics on how the Procurement Ombudsman’s authority is to be exercised. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Office of the Procurement Ombudsman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
