The Purchasing Division is responsible for the acquisition of all goods, services and construction for Metro Vancouver and its associated entities: Greater Vancouver Water District; Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District; and Greater Vancouver Housing Corporation. This activity is carried out in accordance with the Metro Vancouver’s contracting policies and procedures and generally involves the solicitation of competitive bids.

Metro Vancouver’s Sustainable Procurement Policy is now in effect for all formal competitive processes. The Policy has three main components, Economic, Environmental and Social, which add to and are independent of specifications and/or requirements.
