We have different structures collaborating on projects in Quebec, Canada. It is seen mainly in structures that are not competing on a given market. I am not just talking about Public agencies but also Associations and Federations. Schoolboards are being introduced to the concept and are a forge is being installed to facilitate collaboration.
Why reinventing the wheel if something similar has already been developed and paid for with public money?
In my opinion before publishing RFPs gvt agencies should :
1 - find out if something similar already exists in another agency;
2 - find out if other agencies have the same needs in which case a joint RFP could be considered.
