  • Why it matters

The week Ontario’s procurement offices compare notes.

Keynotes, plenaries and practical breakout sessions for public procurement professionals from across Ontario and Canada, with the trade show floor in the middle of it.

OPBA’s theme for 2026
Procuring for Tomorrow: Are you ready for it?
01

The sector in one room

Canada’s premier public procurement conference brings buyers from municipalities, school boards, colleges, hospitals, utilities and agencies together for three days.

02

Practical sessions, not just theory

Plenary and breakout sessions built for the day-to-day work of public procurement, alongside the keynote from Michelle Cederberg on energy, leadership and sustainable high performance.

03

Two full days on the floor

The trade show is open all day Wednesday and Thursday, with lunch, breaks and Wednesday’s reception held on the floor. That is where the conversations happen.

  • What Alphavima does

Microsoft business applications for the public sector, built to be used.

We implement Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, Power Platform and Copilot AI, and we build industry accelerators on top of them. Here is what that means for a procurement office.

Procurement and sourcing on Business Central

Requisitions, approval hierarchies, purchase orders, receipts and invoices in one flow, posted to the same ledger finance uses. Vendor records, contracts and blanket orders live with the spend they belong to.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Approvals and workflows on Power Platform

Power Apps and Power Automate for the steps that still run on email: requisition approvals, vendor onboarding, contract renewals, threshold checks. Every step is logged, so the audit trail writes itself.

Power Apps · Power Automate · Power BI

Vendor and supplier engagement on Dynamics 365

Dynamics 365 Customer Service and self-service portals for the supplier side: registrations, enquiries, document exchange and case tracking, with the history in one place instead of an inbox.

Dynamics 365 · Power Pages

Copilot AI, inside the tools you already use

Copilot in Business Central and Microsoft 365, set up around real procurement work: drafting, summarising bid documents, finding the right record. Configured to your data and your access rules, not a generic rollout.

Microsoft Copilot · Copilot Studio

Spend visibility with Power BI and Fabric

Spend by vendor, category and department, contract expiry, cycle times and compliance exceptions, on dashboards fed from the ledger rather than rebuilt in spreadsheets each quarter.

Power BI · Microsoft Fabric · Azure

Moving off Dynamics GP and legacy systems

Assessment, data migration, integration and training for organizations leaving Dynamics GP or an older finance system for Dynamics 365. We talk about the order of work, timelines and what usually breaks.

Assessment · Migration · Managed services
Industry accelerators

Alphavima also builds ready-made products on Dynamics 365: Olix365 for municipalities and utilities, GiveLife365 for nonprofits, PREXA365 for rental businesses and PulseNet365, an HRMS on Business Central.

Ask Vishal about
  • A walkthrough of procurement, approvals and vendor management on Business Central, on your scenarios
  • Our accelerators, what is on the roadmap, and what we would build for the public sector next
  • Spend and contract dashboards in Power BI, and what they need from the ledger to be trustworthy

  • Bring the awkward question

Three things we hear from every procurement office.

If one of these sounds like your organization, that is the conversation to have at the booth.

01

“Our approvals still run on email and a spreadsheet.”

Requisitions, thresholds and sign-offs can run as workflows on Business Central and Power Automate, with every step logged. Ask what it takes to move one process first, and what the audit trail looks like afterwards.

02

“Finance and procurement are on different systems.”

When purchase orders, receipts and invoices post to the same ledger finance closes on, three-way matching and spend reporting stop being a reconciliation job. Ask what changes for the buyers, and what changes for finance.

03

“Our GP is running out of road.”

Microsoft has published an end date for Dynamics GP. Ask what a move to Dynamics 365 looks like for a public sector organization, how it gets procured, and what it costs to wait.

OPBA Mobile App Challenge

Our challenge question

Attendees can only answer it by talking to us. Come to Booth 40, ask the team, and collect your challenge code in the conference app.

“Name one thing that stops posting to a ‘shadow ledger’ when procurement runs on Business Central.”

Takes about a minute. We reply within one business day.

    Your details go only to the Alphavima team at the booth.

    Everything we would show you at Booth 40, before you get there.

    This is the walkthrough we give at the booth. One purchase order, from the buyer who raises it to the ledger entry finance closes on, and everything that runs around it: approvals that leave email, a supplier portal, dashboards fed from the ledger, Copilot inside the tools your team already opens, and the licensing behind all of it.
