Supporting Documentation - Number of recommendations made by the Ombud acted upon by federal organizations

The Office of the Procurement Ombud (OPO) reviews procurement practices of federal organizations and provides recommendations for improvement, then conducts follow-up reviews within 2 years to ensure the recommendations have been followed. The information in this dataset records the number of recommendations that were implemented.

NOTE: The measure Recommendations-Implemented_Recommandations-implimentés is based on the results of the follow-up reviews, so this measure is left blank where reviews are still outstanding.

2024-2025

In fiscal year 2024–25, OPO launched 2 new Procurement Practice Reviews (PPRs) - Bait and Switch and Indigenous Procurement - which are anticipated to be completed and published in 2025-26. The ability to initiate additional PPRs during this period was limited, as OPO had just concluded two exceptionally large and complex reviews: ArriveCAN in January 2024 and McKinsey in March 2024. These significant undertakings placed considerable demands on resources and, when combined with OPO’s ongoing budget constraints, effectively precluded the launch of further reviews during that time.

To calculate the DRR indicator “Percentage of recommendations made by the Ombud acted upon by federal organizations”:

  1. Sum the values in the column Recommendations-Implemented_Recommandations-mises-en-oeuvre with the appropriate fiscal year specified in Fiscal-Year_Année-Fiscale.
  2. Sum the values in the column Recommendations-Provided_Recommandations-fournies with the appropriate fiscal year specified in Fiscal-Year_Année-Fiscale.
  3. Divide the sum of Recommendations-Implemented_Recommandations-mises-en-oeuvre by the sum of Recommendations-Provided_Recommandations-fournies.
  4. Multiply the resulting decimal value by 100 to turn it into a percentage.
