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

The last award notice from Public Services and Procurement Canada for the same commodity class went to Kisters North America in Aug 2025, for $19,366. That contract ran to Aug 2026.

It ended within six months of the date this one was due to start, so this tender may be its replacement, and that supplier the incumbent. Incumbents know the work and the buyer; check the notice for whether the scope changed.

What work like this goes for

Half of the 5 award notices for the same commodity code were between $213,517 and $1,490,329; the middle one was $377,314. Values as awarded, in Canadian dollars, and often including option years.

How many bids to expect

Public Services and Procurement Canada’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more since Apr 2022 drew a median of 1 bid; 56% drew a single bid (7,846 contracts).

Bid counts as the department reported them to the Treasury Board. Departments count differently, so compare within one buyer, not across buyers.
