Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Developing a ML Proof of Concept for Predictive Maintenance Pricing

Agreement Number:

1020021

Duration: from Jul 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

Scription is launching the first project in its multi-year machine learning program. This project will enable Scription to dramatically improve the speed and quality of its services that allow maintenance companies to provide subscription-based maintenance plans. By leveraging both real-time and historical data, the model aims to initially deliver quicker and more precise contract pricing with expansion of the model’s application to ultimately include additional outcomes such as self-serve price estimations. This effort not only supports Scription's innovative strategy to revolutionize the commercial and industrial maintenance industry, but also offers efficiency gains and cost reductions for both equipment owners and service providers
