Access to CSA Pricing

There are two ways to access Corporate Supply Arrangement pricing on the Goods and Services Catalogue:

  • Government employees can use their IDIR for immediate access
  • Employees from eligible broader public sector organizations can use their registered BCeID for immediate access

REMEMBER: Pricing is confidential. Do not share it with other individuals, organizations, or suppliers.

If you have a government IDIR, you have access to CSA pricing.

Step 1: Click on a confidential pricing link

  1. Select 'Active Directory' on the sign-in page
  2. Enter your government IDIR (idir\username) and password
  3. Click 'Continue' to access the confidential pricing page

I submitted my IDIR information and the page says "You need permission to access this site" or when I press back, I can't see the login page anymore. 

You may need to clear your browser's cookies and delete your web history so the login page re-appears. Ensure you are selecting 'Active Directory' when prompted. Alternatively, try to access pricing in private or incognito mode on your browser.

If you continue to have access issues, submit a message in the form or email CSA@gov.bc.ca. We will review your request within 2-3 business days.
