President of the Treasury Board of Canada Anita Anand is setting out new guidelines for public service managers who contract out professional services, including consulting, with a focus on reducing spending on outsourcing.Manager’s Guide: Key Considerations when procuring professional services”According to the Treasury Board, the guide builds upon existing federal policies, directives and guidelines around the procurement process and the management of contracts.
In March, the secretariat said preliminary observations of the audits found that there were indications that certain administrative requirements and procedures were not consistently followed.released in February found that the amount of money the government spends on professional and special services, which includes spending on external contractors, had increased by over a third since the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
Following the recent strike involving over 150,000 public servants in the spring, PSAC and the federal government agreed upon new language in workers’ collective agreements to ensure that in the event of layoffs, the retention of current employees is prioritized over outside contractors, so long as the employee is capable of performing the necessary work.
In an email to this newspaper, Anand said that, in the coming weeks, she will be tabling a “Supplementary Estimates ” report, which will outline the breakdown of departmental reductions in professional services and travel for 2023–2024. Reductions for future years, she said, will be presented in the 2024–25 main estimates, which will be published by March 1, 2024, with departments and agencies to also provide annual reports on their specific reduction plans.
