Canoe Contract | CDW Canada

CDW Group Purchasing Agreements with Canoe Procurement Group of Canada

About Canoe Procurement Group of Canada

In 1936, a handful of Western Canadian municipalities decided to combine their purchasing power to procure common necessities for their communities at better prices. This practice proved effective, and the program was gradually expanded. In 2014, the procurement group partnered with the National Joint Powers Association (now known as Sourcewell) to further expand procurement options.

As the group expanded, all three Canadian prairie provinces partnered together to make cooperative procurement programs available to every municipality in Western Canada. Shortly thereafter, Newfoundland and Labrador joined, bringing programs to Eastern Canada for the first time. The group welcomed Ontario, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in 2019, then expanded again in 2020 with the addition of New Brunswick and the Northwest Territories.

The procurement group – which had been operating jointly but branding separately – launched Canoe in June 2021, a unified identity for all Canadian municipal, public sector and not-for-profit organizations to participate in collectively.
