Accessing Defence Procurement Opportunities

Defence spending is growing, and with it comes new opportunities for businesses across Western Canada. But knowing where those opportunities are and how to access them is another story. Join Sean Naugle, Senior Contracts Officer at CFB Edmonton, for a conversation on what it takes to do business with the defence sector. From where procurement opportunities are emerging to the challenges that can get in the way, Sean will share what businesses need to know about navigating this growing market. With more than 30 years of experience with the Department of National Defence, both as a serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces and as a contracts and compliance specialist, Sean knows the procurement landscape from the inside. Today, he is responsible for contracting and procurement for Army bases across Western Canada. If defence is on your radar, or you’re wondering whether it should be, grab a coffee and join the conversation.
