Government tenders in Canada: where they are published.
Public procurement in Canada is layered. CanadaBuys carries the national procedures, and 8 regional, state and municipal buyers publish on their own portals beside it. A supplier watching only the national channel sees one layer of the market.
The national channels
These are the public, national-level sources: anyone can find them in one search. They carry a large share of the notices, not all of them.
And everything that publishes beside them
Beyond the national channels, 11 more sources in Canada publish their own notices. We count them by category without naming them: the complete source map is what sets the radar apart, and it is not published.
- 8regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals
- 2state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
- 1health buyers, hospitals and medical purchasing agencies
For a supplier the consequence is arithmetic: the contract that fits best may be published by a regional buyer nobody watches, while everyone's attention stays on the national portal.
What TRINTA does on this market
TRINTA reads these sources every day so the company does not have to. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
The same radar covers 170+ countries and 1,627 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in Canada rarely sells only in Canada.
