Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more since Apr 2022 drew a median of 2 bids; 39% drew a single bid (88 contracts).
Bid counts as the department reported them to the Treasury Board. Departments count differently, so compare within one buyer, not across buyers.

Of Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s 631 contracts since Apr 2022, 61% were non-competitive and 0% were call-ups against standing offers or supply arrangements, which only firms already on those lists can win. How to get on them
- Room for smaller firms
12% of the 43 award notices for the same commodity class went to suppliers with under $1 million in federal contracts since Jan 2004.
