Federal award data · Date-stamped

The federal contracts already running out

Every tender tool, including ours, shows you what is posted today. By then the work has been scoped, the budget is set, and whoever has held it for the last three years has had every one of those years to build the relationship. This page shows the other side of the ledger: contracts the federal government has already awarded, who holds them, what they were worth, and when the current term runs out.

Built from CanadaBuys contract award notices, licensed under the Open Government Licence, Canada. Federal only. A term ending is not a promise of a new competition. Read what this data cannot tell you.

What a term ending does not mean

  • It is not a bid deadline. There is nothing to bid on yet, and there may never be.
  • Federal contracts routinely carry option years. A buyer can extend without posting anything.
  • A later amendment can extend a term after the fact. These dates reflect the most recent amendment published when the data was pulled.
  • Award data is published unaudited by CanadaBuys and lags the actual award by months.

Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada. Always verify against the official notice before acting.

How to use it

What to do with a contract that ends in eight months

Knowing early is only worth something if you do the things that cannot be done inside a three week bid window. Almost everything that decides a federal competition happens before the notice appears.

Get your paperwork done while there is no clock running

Supplier registration, a Procurement Business Number, and above all security clearance are the classic reasons a good company cannot bid on a contract it could have won. Clearance is sponsored by a buyer and takes months. If a requirement you want is clearance-gated, starting after the notice drops means you have already lost this round. Our security clearance guide covers who can sponsor you and how the timelines actually run.

Talk to the buyer now, because later you cannot

Once a competition is live, contact is tightly controlled and every question you ask is published to your competitors. Before that, departments are generally willing to talk about what they buy and what has been difficult about it. That conversation is legitimate, it is normal practice, and it is only available to you in the window this page is showing you.

Study the incumbent

The supplier named on each row is the standard the buyer is currently used to. Their scope tells you what the requirement really includes. If the contract was competed last time, the award notice is a public record of what a winning bid looked like at what price. Suppliers are also entitled to request a debrief on competitions they lost, which is the cheapest competitive research available in this market.

Watch the ones that were not competed

Where we flag a contract as not competed, the department awarded it directly last time. That is a signal worth taking seriously before you invest in a pursuit. It is not always permanent: departments come under pressure to compete requirements they have held sole-source for years, and an Advance Contract Award Notice can be challenged by a supplier who can genuinely do the work.

Then watch for the notice

When a requirement does come back to market it appears in the live tender feed like everything else. Set your profile once on the tender browser and the weekly email will tell you when something matching it opens.

The honest limits

What this page cannot tell you

This is federal data only. Provincial ministries, municipalities, hospitals, universities and school boards buy an enormous amount and do not publish award data in one comparable open dataset, so none of it is here. Private sector work is not here either. If your buyers are in those layers, commercial aggregators cover them for a subscription fee, and our tender portals guide maps out which portal serves which buyer.

Within federal data, a contract only appears if a department published an award notice with an end date and the record is still marked active. Smaller purchases often go unpublished entirely. Values are as published, in Canadian dollars, and awards recorded in other currencies carry no dollar figure here rather than a converted guess.

We show the median where we summarise, never the average, because a handful of billion dollar defence contracts would otherwise make every number meaningless.

Questions

Common questions

Does a term ending mean the work will be re-tendered?

No, and it is the most important thing to understand here. A term ending is the end of the contract period currently on record, nothing more. Option years get exercised, amendments extend terms after the fact, requirements get folded into other contracts or moved onto standing offers, and sometimes the need just stops. Read it as a signal about where money is already committed and when the current arrangement runs out.

Where does the data come from?

Contract award notices published by federal departments on CanadaBuys, released as open data under the Open Government Licence for Canada. We deduplicate to the latest published amendment for each solicitation, keep only contracts still recorded as active, and show those whose term ends within twelve months.

Is this free?

Yes. Searching this page and the live tender browser is free and needs no account. The underlying data is public. What we add is the work of turning an award notice archive into something you can search by what you do.

What does "not competed" mean on a row?

The last contract was awarded directly instead of through an open competition, either as a non-competitive award or through an Advance Contract Award Notice, where a department names its intended supplier and gives others a short window to challenge it. We flag these rather than hiding them, because knowing which departments buy directly from whom is useful in itself.

Do you cover provincial and municipal contracts?

Not here. This dataset is federal. See the tender portals guide for where provincial, broader public sector and municipal opportunities are posted and what each one costs to reach.
