About Jeff Pakeman

As a highly experienced and results-driven procurement professional, I currently serve as a Supply Team Leader at Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), specializing in complex, multi-million-dollar contracts within the aviation sector. With over 15 years of experience managing large-scale procurement projects for the Canadian federal government, I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality goods and services while ensuring compliance with all regulatory and policy requirements. My expertise spans the full procurement lifecycle, including bid solicitation, contract negotiation, and contract management. I am adept at developing and executing procurement strategies, managing budgets, and providing strategic advice to senior management. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of stakeholders, from government agencies like Transport Canada, DND, and RCMP, to private sector suppliers, fostering strong relationships and ensuring the success of complex projects. Notable achievements include leading procurement efforts for Transport Canada’s aircraft upgrades, negotiating multi-year repair contracts for the CF-18 aircraft, and supporting large-scale projects like the Marine Security Operations Centre (MSOC) and Medium Size Vehicles Project for the Department of National Defence. I hold a Certificate in Complex Project & Procurement Leadership from Telfer Executive Programs and am a Certified Federal Specialist in Procurement. My commitment to continuous professional development, coupled with my expertise in using procurement tools such as SAP and CMS, allows me to adapt to evolving business needs and deliver exceptional results. Whether managing large contracts, negotiating supplier agreements, or advising senior executives, I am passionate about driving procurement excellence and contributing to the success of my clients and stakeholders.
