05 FAQ

Canadian tenders — asked + answered.

What is the difference between CanadaBuys, BC Bid and MERX?
01

CanadaBuys is the official federal portal (free, federal only). BC Bid is British Columbia’s provincial portal (incl. BC Hydro, BC Transit, ICBC). MERX is a private aggregator that charges for access. CanaGrants monitors all of them — plus Ontario Tenders Portal, APC, SEAO and 1,200+ municipal/MASH platforms — and adds plain-English summaries and AI bid/no-bid scoring.

What does RFP, RFQ and ITT mean?
02

RFP (Request for Proposal) evaluates technical merit and price — common for services. RFQ (Request for Quotation) is price-led for defined goods. ITT (Invitation to Tender) takes sealed bids, common in construction. We tag every opportunity by method so you can filter to the ones you actually bid on.

Do I need to register on every portal?
03

To submit a bid, yes — each portal has its own registration. But to find and qualify opportunities, you can monitor all of them through CanaGrants in one feed, with deadline alerts, instead of checking 30+ portals manually.

How big is Canadian government procurement?
04

Federal contracting alone exceeds $20B per year, and there are 30+ official Canadian tender portals across federal, provincial and municipal levels. The Buy Canadian threshold drops from $25M to $5M on June 15, 2026 — expanding Canadian-supplier preferences considerably.
