Purchasing

The Purchasing Department is responsible for implementing corporate procurement policies and procedures for SaskPower. Our key objectives are:

• To procure goods and services at the lowest possible cost while maintaining quality, delivery, service, Saskatchewan content, and any other relevant criteria.
• To conduct all purchasing functions and activities in such a manner that community, public and vendor relationships are maintained while applying professional business standards.

Competitive tendering is the preferred procurement method for purchasing goods and services for SaskPower. Vendors/Suppliers are normally chosen from our vendor list, or notified through advertisements in local newpapers.
