Our mission at Partnerships BC is to structure and implement partnership solutions which serve the public interest. We are committed to transparent operations and achieving wide recognition for our innovation, leadership and expertise in public procurement.

Partnerships BC’s core business is to:

• Provide specialized services, ranging from advice to project leadership/management, to government and its agencies with respect to identifying opportunities for maximizing the value of public capital assets and developing public private partnerships;
  
• Foster a business and policy environment for successful public private partnerships and related activities by offering a centralized source of knowledge, understanding, expertise and practical experience in these areas; and
