Centralized Printing Services (CPS)

Who we are

The Chief Financial Officer Branch (CFOB) Centralized Printing Service (CPS) team manages ESDC’s custom printing needs by conducting a competitive procurement process on a quarterly basis, with deliveries occurring in June, September, December and February.

CPS coordinates the bulk operational printing requirements for the department, which include but are not limited to:

• ESDC and Service Canada Envelopes
• Customized File Folders
• Customized Application forms
• Customized Labels
• Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security Kits
• Paper Rolls (DARS (Departmental Accounting Receivable Systems))
• Record of Employment (ROEs) forms
• Program and Service Info sheets for the Public

Expenses for the print products are processed through the departmental Centrally Managed Cost Pool (CMCP) for printing services, which is managed by CFOB. Clients who order through our centralized printing services will not be charged for the printing services, as the expenses will be captured in the CMCP.

Print products that are not covered by the CMCP and not processed by the CPS team are:

• Business cards;
• Promotional items;
• Publications;
• Banners;
• E-Forms from iService (for these forms please consult the Forms Help page); and
• Any generic paper items that are available through an office supply company.

Consult the Order Schedule for an overview of the order and delivery periods. This will allow you to plan your orders ahead of time.
