05 How matching works

Should you bid on a construction tender?

Construction tenders hinge on bonding capacity, prequalification, mandatory site meetings and a compliant submission. Missing one mandatory item can disqualify an otherwise strong bid — confirm the essentials, then verify against the official tender documents.

Confirm bonding capacity (bid, performance, labour & material) and insurance limits.
Check prequalification status and whether a mandatory site meeting applies.
Note addenda — construction tenders are frequently amended before closing.
Register on the official portal to submit — CanaGrants helps you find and prepare, not submit.
06 FAQ

Construction tenders — asked + answered.

Where are Canadian construction tenders posted?
01

Across many portals — CanadaBuys (federal), provincial portals like BC Bid and the Ontario Tenders Portal, and municipal/MASH platforms like Bids&Tenders, Biddingo and Bonfire. CanaGrants monitors them together and tags construction opportunities so you don’t check each one manually.

What is MASH?
02

MASH stands for Municipalities, Academic institutions, School boards and Hospitals — the broader public sector that buys a large share of construction work. These buyers use platforms like Bids&Tenders and Biddingo, all covered in your CanaGrants feed.

Do I need bonding to bid?
03

Most public construction tenders require a bid bond and performance/labour-and-material bonds. We surface bonding requirements in the summary so you can assess fit early; confirm the exact amounts in the official tender documents.

How does the Buy Canadian change affect construction?
04

From June 15, 2026 the Buy Canadian threshold drops to $5M, extending Canadian-supplier and Canadian Value-Added preferences to many more construction contracts. We flag where these criteria apply.
