Government of Alberta

Alberta’s sole-source contracts

Contracts the Government of Alberta gave without competition: 16,444 service contracts of $10,000 or more worth $20.3B. Alberta publishes these because they skip the usual competition; its competitive contracts are a separate source this site doesn’t cover yet. Ministry names are as each ministry reported them, so a renamed ministry appears under each of its names.
