Saskatchewan Crown Collaboration Report 2020-21

Waskesiu Lake, Prince Albert National Park

Introduction The overall objective of Crown collaboration is to drive benefits across the Crown sector, align to Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan and to support the Crown Sector Strategic Priorities. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the province, the focus for 2020-21 shifted to supporting customers and economic recovery, while continuing to drive both hard and soft benefits through collaboration. Despite challenges faced in 2020-21, collaborative work continued with several initiatives including: shared infrastructure, procurement, Crown collaboration innovation, and software license review. The Crowns continued to seek innovative opportunities which resulted in over $44M of benefits to the Crown sector. Crown collaboration will continue to explore new opportunities and potential initiatives such as cyber security, project delivery, shared procurement, and infrastructure investment. The Crowns are committed to Indigenous procurement and collaborating on supplier development opportunities, while also beginning a dialogue on expanding supplier diversity. The committee will work with Trade and Export Development (TED) to pursue new benefits, such as red tape reduction savings for businesses and the public. Treasury Board Crowns, ministries, and agencies will also be invited to help the Crowns work more effectively, be part of a larger community and benefit the province and economy overall. This report details existing and new collaboration initiatives, highlighting measurable results and successes, and provides a five-year forecast for hard benefits gained through Crown collaboration.
