Procurement Process Backgrounder
In a report delivered to the Minister of Finance on March 12, 2012, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) outlined a proposal to modernize lottery and gaming in Ontario.

To achieve this, OLG is focusing on three priorities:
- Become more customer-focused;
- Securing qualified service providers for the day-to-day operation of lottery and gaming; and
- Renewing OLG's role in the conduct, management and oversight of lottery and gaming.
When OLG's modernization (including initiatives already underway) is fully implemented, there will be:
- An additional $1.3 billion available to government annually for the province's key public priorities like health care.
- Billions of dollars in new private sector capital investment in the province.
- Thousand of jobs created across the province.
OLG will conduct a competitive procurement process within the guidelines/regulations mandated by the Government of Ontario for these goods/services in the upcoming future.
