Does it cover provincial tenders as well as federal ones?

Coverage is portal-agnostic, so provincial and municipal sources can be stood up quickly alongside the federal records. Most Canadian suppliers sell across more than one level of government. Tell us where you bid and we will confirm what is already there.

Can I see who won a federal contract and for how much?

Where the award is published, yes. The buying department, the winning supplier and the value are part of the contract record. That history is usually more decisive than the open notice when you are choosing what to bid.

Does it handle both English and French notices?

You ask your questions in plain English inside your AI assistant, and the answers come from the source records. If you want to know which departments have bought something, you do not have to guess which language the notice was written in first.

Through a conversation with our sales team. Procurement Context is sold rather than self-served, so there is no trial or signup. We scope the departments and categories you sell into up front.

CanadaBuys, without leaving your AI assistant

Open opportunities, past awards and who won them, answered in plain English.

Talk to sales

CanadaBuys replaced Buyandsell as the federal tender service, and suppliers who made the move know the search takes patience. Notices carry commodity codes and procurement entity names that do not always match how you describe your own business, and bilingual postings mean the same requirement reads two ways. Finding what is relevant is one job. Working out whether it is winnable is another one entirely.

Procurement Context answers from those records inside your AI assistant. You ask which departments have bought your category, who they awarded to, and how a standing offer or supply arrangement has been used since it was put in place. The answers are grounded in the published notices and contract records, and there is no new interface for your team to learn.

The questions that matter are the ones that take too long by hand. Whether a department buys this routinely or has come to market once. Whether the incumbent has held it through several renewals. Whether a set-aside genuinely narrows the field. That is the difference between a considered bid and a hopeful one, and it should not cost you an afternoon.

Use cases

Who is buying, and what is next

What an agency has bought, from whom, at what value, and on what cycle. Contracts coming up for renewal are the pipeline nobody has published yet.

Who you are up against

The suppliers who keep winning in a category, with their award history and estimated win rate. Know the incumbent before you commit a team to the response.

What the work goes for

Awarded contract records with values and dates. Price against evidence of what this buyer has paid before, not against a guess.

What is live right now

Open opportunities across every covered portal, filtered by the criteria your team actually qualifies on.
