CPPC and Civia partner to help CPPC members collaborate, share, and access AI together easily and safely

The Canadian Public Procurement Council (CPPC) and Civia Inc, a leading provider of innovative AI solutions and communication tools tailored for the public sector, are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership aimed at improving communication and access to advanced AI technologies for CPPC members.

This unique collaboration marks a significant step forward in leveraging technology to enhance membership communication, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and the ability to leverage AI support. By combining Civia’s government-focused AI technology with CPPC’s extensive network and expertise, the partnership is set to empower individuals and procurement teams alike and support the increasingly challenging roles of sourcing and spend management Canada-wide.

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

• Enhanced Communication: Members of CPPC will gain access to Civia’s comprehensive public sector directory, private CPPC member forums for discussion and their advanced AI platform, Civia GovAI, enabling more effective and streamlined interactions.
• Tailored AI Solution: public sector AI technologies developed by Civia will address the unique challenges faced by members of CPPC and the public sector at large, fostering innovation and problem-solving.
• Training and Support: The partnership will also include training programs and support services to ensure that all members can fully leverage the benefits of Civia’s directory, including CPPC-specific tagging, private group chats, and AI technologies being implemented.

“We’re thrilled to help CPPC in their goal to deepen procurement collaboration Canada-wide”, said Corry Flatt, co-founder and CEO of Civia. “The CPPC and its members are at the forefront of so many important initiatives, and we share their conviction that easier peer-to-peer collaboration and new, safe AI tools can make a difference as procurement teams rise to the challenges of tomorrow.”

“We are very enthusiastic about this partnership with Civia” said François Émond, Executive Director of the CPPC. “The greatest added value for our members is the possibility to collaborate with peers from all sectors of government across Canada on best practices, daily issues and challenges, and Civia will help us be better at doing it. AI is revolutionizing the way things are done in several industries and we want to work with Civia to be at the forefront in offering AI tools adapted to the government reality and more specifically to our profession.”

The partnership is set to kick off with a series of joint initiatives and workshops starting in early April and leading up to CPPC’s Annual Forum taking place in Montreal, aimed at introducing members to the new platform and outlining the roadmap for the collaboration.
