Who won the last one

What work like this goes for

Half of the 83 award notices for the same commodity code were between $234,532 and $2,223,367; the middle one was $596,640. Values as awarded, in Canadian dollars, and often including option years.

How many bids to expect

Natural Resources Canada’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more since Apr 2022 drew a median of 1 bid; 67% drew a single bid (1,899 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 Natural Resources Canada’s 7,487 contracts since Apr 2022, 60% were non-competitive and 1% 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

7% of the 492 award notices for the same commodity class 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.
