Half of the 1,155 award notices for the same commodity family were between $65,663 and $413,196; the middle one was $154,523. Values as awarded, in Canadian dollars, and often including option years.
- How many bids to expect
Indigenous Services Canada’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more since Apr 2022 drew a median of 1 bid; 93% drew a single bid (1,280 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 Indigenous Services Canada’s 3,354 contracts since Apr 2022, 33% 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
17% of the 1,356 award notices for the same commodity family went to suppliers with under $1 million in federal contracts since Jan 2004.
