Former Public Servant

Contracts with former public servants bear the closest public scrutiny and must reflect fairness in the spending of public funds.  As such, additional oversight is necessary to prevent favouritism, preferential treatment, and/or the perception of either.

Effective July 1st, 2023, proposed contracts with former public servants, that were not included in the annual agency procurement planning exercise, must be approved by senior management prior to contract award. The following information is provided to support business owners and contracting authorities at the Public Health Agency of Canada in seeking the required approvals.
