As a new supplier interested in doing business with the Government of Nova Scotia, I need to understand the initial steps. Please identify where to find guidance for new suppliers, the primary types of procurement opportunities available, and how to receive notifications for new tenders.
Navigate to procurement.novascotia.ca. Locate the section providing information for suppliers. Identify the link or section offering initial guidance for new suppliers. Identify the main categories of procurement opportunities listed on the homepage. Find the service or method for receiving notifications about new tender opportunities. Synthesize the identified information into a concise answer.
State that initial guidance for new suppliers can be found via the 'Getting Started' link under the 'Suppliers' section. State that the primary types of procurement opportunities are 'current tenders' and 'standing offers/supply arrangements'. Identify the 'Tender Opportunities Notification Service' as the way to receive notifications for new tenders.
