Supply Chain is the primary contact for all supplier representatives wishing to trial, solicit and/or negotiate proposals to supply goods and/or services to the BC health authorities. We are committed to facilitating the selection of medical, non-medical, pharmaceutical, facilities, and technology suppliers through fair, equitable and transparent business processes.

Contract Lifecycle Management Solution

PHSA Procurement & Supply Chain is launching an Oracle Fusion Platform called the Contract Lifecycle Management Solution (CLMS).

The CLMS Supplier Portal will create: 

  • Visibility for suppliers on contracts and compliance
  • A one-stop shop for PHSA information
  • Ongoing updates for supplier events 

Suppliers will have the opportunity to create a profile, as well as add other contacts within your organization.

The CLMS is scheduled to launch in mid-March 2026. Supplier onboarding will occur in phases throughout the spring. Active contracted suppliers will receive an email with a link to the CLMS Supplier Portal.

If you are an active Purchase Order Supplier and would like to access the portal, email vendorliaison.supplychain@phsa.ca for support. β€‹

Supplier Code of Conduct

The Supplier Code of Conduct explains what PHSA expects from suppliers and their subcontractors during the procurement and contracting process. It applies to any individual or entity who provides goods and/or services to PHSA, its affiliates, or any health care organization for which PHSA acts as an agent.

If you're a supplier, please complete the PHSA Supplier Code of Conduct Declaration & Acknowledgement Form to show that you have read and understood the code. Failure to act in accordance may result in restrictions to the supplier and their representatives.

Changes to online submissions (effective February 17)

The Supplier Code of Conduct Declaration and Acknowledgement Form will be migrated to the Contract Lifecycle Management Solution in mid-March 2026.

​To support this transition, online submissions will not be accepted from February 17 to March 23.​

If you need to submit the form during this period, please email vendorliaison.supplychain@phsa.ca.

Online submissions will resume once the migration is complete.​
