Should you bid?
What the public record says about work like this. The notice on CanadaBuys is what counts: read it before deciding.
- Who won the last one
No award notice from Canada Revenue Agency for the same commodity class since Aug 2022. It may be new work, or the last contract may not have had a notice (not every contract gets one).
- What work like this goes for
Half of the 6 award notices for the same commodity class were between $120,869 and $698,125; the middle one was $206,575. Values as awarded, in Canadian dollars, and often including option years.
- How many bids to expect
Canada Revenue Agency’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more since Apr 2022 drew a median of 12 bids; 11% drew a single bid (313 contracts).
Bid counts as the department reported them to the Treasury Board. Departments count differently, so compare within one buyer, not across buyers.
- How this buyer buys
Of Canada Revenue Agency’s 2,175 contracts since Apr 2022, 42% were non-competitive and 2% 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
22% of the 121 award notices for the same commodity family went to suppliers with under $1 million in federal contracts since Jan 2004.
Sources: CanadaBuys award notices since Aug 2022 (October 12, 2026); Treasury Board contracts data, bid counts from Apr 2022 on (October 13, 2026). Buyers are matched by name; Crown corporations such as Defence Construction Canada are not in the Treasury Board data.
