The federal government has created a “strong perception” of favouritism for consulting firm McKinsey & Company when awarding government contracts, says a new report from Canada’s Office of the Procurement Ombud.
The report said Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) failed to justify McKinsey’s being chosen for projects. It found 18 non-competitive contracts, valued at $43 million, were awarded to the firm with no justification on file.
