    History

    The Supply and Services Division was established in 1969 within the Department of Public Works, and was originally known as the Central Supply Division. It assumed some functions formerly held by the Administration and Finance Division, which continued to exist.

    In 1972 the division moved to the jurisdiction of the new Ministry of Government Services. Initially, it was headed by an Executive Director, and presided over a number of branches. However, by 1974 the branches within the Division were reclassified as Divisions, and the Executive Director became known as the Assistant Deputy Minister. At that time, the Supply and Service Division was known more commonly as the Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister, Supply and Services.

    At that time, the office was responsible for supervising the Marketed Services Division and the General Services Division. Between 1982 and 1987, the division became known as the Corporate Services Division, headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister. In 1987, however, it again became known as the Supply and Services Division, headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister, and responsible for the oversight of several branches.

    The division ceased to exist in 1993 with the transfer of responsibilities for this area to the Management Board Secretariat.
