he Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) portfolio, including Service Canada and the Labour Program, purchases goods and services to support its delivery of services to Canadians. A large portion of ESDC contracts are for diverse professional services. These include research and consulting services. The Department's need for such services links closely to its mandate. ESDC must communicate its programs, benefits and services, including the network of Service Canada Centres. As required by federal purchasing rules, all advertising purchases are made by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC).
ESDC also buys software and information technology services to support its operations. The ongoing transition to centralize IT at Shared Services Canada (SSC) has reduced ESDC's spend in this area, and is expected to continue to reduce ESDC IT expenditures. You may wish to visit the Doing Business with Shared Services Canada website. Temporary Help Services are another major expenditure at ESDC. Amongst other needs, ESDC requires temporary help to support the varying workloads in the Service Canada call centers. ESDC buys postage to deliver benefits to Canadians, such as Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan cheques. The major purchase areas remain fairly consistent from year to year.
