CCC is a federal Crown corporation mandated to promote and facilitate international trade on behalf of Canadian industry, particularly within government markets. The Corporation's two business lines are structured to support Canadian companies contracting into the defence sector, and Canadian exporters contracting into emerging and developing country markets.
CCC's business is achieved through close collaboration with Canadian exporters, government departments and foreign government buyers. For foreign governments, CCC has the advantage of being a part of the Government of Canada, a trustworthy and reliable partner. Similarly, for the Canadian exporter, CCC is able to utilize the Government of Canada's relationships with other governments to help these exporters move their projects forward. The Corporation also works within the Government of Canada to provide procurement expertise for other federal government departments and agencies that have an international focus.
CCC offers two principal services, both of which provide a secure and transparent government-to-government contracting platform: Prime contractor service and Procurement service.
