How public tendering works in Canada
Canada publishes federal and participating provincial tenders through a single open register, in both official languages.
- Our Canadian listings come from CanadaBuys, which carries English and French versions of every notice. Where a notice has both, we hold both.
- Canada classifies its tenders using its own categories and UNSPSC codes rather than the European CPV system we use for category pages, so most Canadian tenders here have no category yet.
- Some notices are hosted on MERX rather than CanadaBuys; the link on each page goes wherever the official notice actually lives.
