About ProcureData

ProcureData is a database of Canadian government procurement records, covering open tenders and awarded contracts from federal, provincial, and municipal sources since 2008-2009. Coverage includes CanadaBuys, TBS, and SOSA at the federal level, SEAO for Quebec, several other provinces (Nova Scotia, Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, Northwest Territories), and municipal sources for Montreal and Toronto. The dataset totals over 2.6 million procurement records and includes full text search inside RFP PDFs, plus pre-solicitation signals such as ACANs (advance contract award notices), RFIs (requests for information), and ITQs (invitations to qualify).

The service is aimed at both developers and non-technical users seeking Canadian government contract opportunities. Developers can access data via an API or a Snowflake dataset for integration into their own systems, while non-developers can sign up for a weekly Excel feed matched to their industry keywords, delivering buyer, closing date, value, and notice links. The site also provides browsable data on top vendors, showing contract history, department breakdown, and contract renewal activity for major federal suppliers.

A free daily email alert is available for new federal or Quebec tenders matching a specified keyword or department, requiring no account. The paid weekly feed product is priced at $49/month with a 30-day free trial and cancellation available at any time.
