On June 21, 2023, the Government of Canada announced they had reached the next step in the procurement process for the national dental care plan. After working with qualified suppliers on requirements, a Request for Proposal has been issued to the pre-qualified suppliers.
“Our government is committed to completing an open, transparent and competitive procurement process to help implement the Canadian Dental Care Plan. After effectively collaborating with the qualified suppliers, issuing this Request for Proposal marks an important step towards ensuring access to quality dental care for Canadians,” said the Honourable Helena Jaczek, Minister of Public Services and Procurement, who made the announcement with the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health.
The government’s plan is to ensure it delivers on an open and fair procurement process when selecting a provider for the dental care plan by taking this phased approach and listening to feedback from potential providers.
