## The national channels

- CanadaBuys (https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en): The Government of Canada's procurement portal.
- MERX (https://www.merx.com): The tender platform used by federal, provincial and municipal buyers.

## The rest

- 8 regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals
- 2 state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
- 1 health 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.

Beyond those, 11 more sources publish their own notices: 8 regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals, 2 state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices, 1 health buyers, hospitals and medical purchasing agencies.

**Do regional and local buyers in Canada publish their own tenders?**

Yes. 8 regional, state and municipal buyers in Canada run their own procurement portals in addition to CanadaBuys. TRINTA counts them by category rather than listing them, because the full source map is part of the product. The radar reads both layers daily, so a notice from a regional buyer is scored and surfaced the same way a national one is.

**How does TRINTA monitor tenders in Canada?**

TRINTA reads Canada's official sources every day, 13 mapped, 3 read by a dedicated connector. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, scores every notice 0 to 100 for fit with the reasoning shown, and attaches the procedure documents. A short scored digest arrives each morning. The same radar covers 153+ countries, so a company selling in Canada can watch neighbouring markets with the same profile.
