With all of the challenges faced by the tourism industry this past year, operators have expanded and shifted their offerings in innovative ways, like focusing more on in-territory business through staycations and packages tailored for NWT residents.

Operators were not the only ones being innovative this year.

The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) has launched an independent review of its procurement policies and practices.

Through interviews, written submissions, targeted engagement opportunities and online surveys, Indigenous Governments and Organizations, elected leaders, the business community, stakeholders and residents will all have an opportunity to share their perspectives and ideas in support of the GNWT’s mandated priority to: Ensure government procurement and contracting maximizes benefits to residents and businesses. 

As promised in its 2019-2023 Mandate, the GNWT has initiated a review of how it contracts and purchases goods and services (known as procurement).

We’re marking 5-days of Round-Up 2021 by talking to five companies currently exploring and developing NWT projects with huge potential.
