Five reasons Canadian businesses consider G2G contracting
Learn why Canadian businesses win business with foreign contracts using CCC’s government to government (G2G) contracting model.
Selling to foreign governments can be a powerful way to grow your business. It can also be challenging, even for seasoned exporters, because government procurement has a more complex set of rules and influences than other kinds of deals. CCC’s government to government (G2G) contracting approach is designed to help Canadian exporters win and deliver on contracts with foreign governments.
Here are five reasons you may want to consider G2G for your business:
1. You get access to key decision makers
Our regional and sector directors draw on their years of experience and extensive networks of contacts to connect your company with the right people in the markets you want to enter. That way you can be sure you’re talking to people with the authority to make purchases on behalf of their governments.
2. You gain a competitive advantage
With G2G contracting, your offer stands out because it’s backed by the Government of Canada with unique guarantees of contract performance that covers the risk for the government buyer. That gives you an edge over other competitors. With their commercial risk mitigated, buyers can reduce or waive expensive bonding, lessening the overall proposal price and your costs. And lengthy, costly competitive procurement processes are sometimes not required as buyers can deal directly with CCC as the Government of Canada for products and services they need.
