Duties

Mandate of the Real Estate Services Branch

The mandate of the Real Property Services Branch is to provide federal organizations with office space to support the delivery of their programs. Within the framework of this mandate, the employees of the Real estate services branch may be called upon to carry out strategic planning, management of real estate portfolios, leasing of commercial spaces, negotiation, projects realization by mobilizing project teams, acquisition and disposal of building and land, quality monitoring and/or contract management by facilitating access to outsourcing. The context of the last two years has led federal departments to rethink their office space requirements. PSPC plays a leading role in the implementation of current and future changes. Client service is at the heart of all these activities, as is sound stewardship to ensure the greatest value to Canadians.
