March 2024 | Vancouver, BC and Ottawa, Ontario – EdgeworthBox Canada, a procurement technology company, and SkyFly Solutions today announced their listing in the Government of Canada’s Software Licensing Supply Arrangement. SkyFly Solutions is a Canadian Indigenous IT services, staffing and solutions company that helps customers implement, customize, and optimize their use of the EdgeworthBox procurement technology solution, with a particular emphasis on Social Procurement initiatives. This SLSA listing means that SkyFly Solutions is positioned to help departments and agencies in the Government of Canada source from suppliers owned, controlled, and operated by members of historically disadvantaged communities including Indigenous Peoples, visible minorities, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and persons with disabilities. Historically, it has been difficult to discover, vet, and engage these suppliers, but the EdgeworthBox set of tools, structured data, and community, wrapped in a contemporary user experience, makes this advanced procurement conversation accessible.
SkyFly Solutions is excited to partner with EdgeworthBox, as an exclusive implementer, to bring a new Social Procurement Platform to the Government of Canada! Canada can now procure the EdgeworthBox Platform directly from the SLSA. As an Aboriginal Business certified by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, SkyFly Solutions applauds the Canadian Federal Government’s efforts to increase and more accurately account for goods and services procurement through Indigenous Business and are eager to help the Government of Canada meet and expand on its social procurement objectives.
– Graham Crate, Director Service Delivery, SkyFly Solutions.
“It’s exciting to work with the Government of Canada and our partner SkyFly Solutions as the federal government leads by example in the promotion of social procurement. This SLSA listing will make it easier for agencies to work with diverse suppliers, while ensuring value-for-money for the taxpayer. Supplier diversity is critical not only as a policy tool, but for procurement risk management and economic development.”
– Chand Sooran, Founder & CEO, EdgeworthBox.
