## How to Find Government Tenders in Canada

### How do I find government tenders in Canada?

Canadian government procurement opportunities are posted across two dozen portals: CanadaBuys for federal, BC Bid for British Columbia, SEAO for Québec, MERX for federal and some provinces, and dozens of municipal portals. Most suppliers check 2-3 portals manually and miss opportunities posted elsewhere. Aggregation tools like PubSec.Pro monitor all sources simultaneously.

### What is the difference between an RFP, RFQ, and tender?

An RFP (Request for Proposal) asks for a proposed solution with pricing. An RFQ (Request for Quotation) asks for a price for a specific product or service. A tender is a formal bid process, typically for construction or large contracts.

### Which portals list Canadian government contracts?

Major portals include CanadaBuys (federal), MERX (federal + universities), BC Bid (BC), SEAO (Québec), Biddingo (Ontario), bidsandtenders.ca (multiple municipalities), Bonfire, and APC (Alberta).

### Do I need to pay to access government tenders?

Most federal and provincial portals are free to browse. Some charge for full document access. PubSec.Pro aggregates listings from all sources into one free-to-browse interface.
