New Government Tendering Policies

The Manitoba Government is committed to expanding the skills of the province's workforce and investing in capital projects. To further this commitment, the following three policies have been implemented province-wide for tendering on publicly-funded capital works projects: 

1. Tendering Requirements Policy - to ensure compliance with legislative and safety requirements
2. Apprenticeship Training and Development Policy - to increase employer participation in trades training and increase the number of apprentices in Manitoba
3. Aboriginal Persons Training and Development Policy - to increase Aboriginal participation in construction through training and development

These policies are important to Manitoba’s economy and to developing a pool of skilled labour.  They will contribute to strong economic growth in the future and further our goal to promote safe worksites, compliance with labour legislation and a skilled workforce - with a special emphasis on Apprenticeship and Aboriginal training programs.
