How it works

Three steps to start winning government contracts — no experience required.

1

Tell us your trade & region

Janitorial, snow removal, or both — and where you work. We tailor every list to your business.

2

We scan the portals weekly

Federal (CanadaBuys), provincial BC Bid, MERX, and municipal tender sites — the ones nobody checks.

3

You get the list + reminders

One plain-English email every Tuesday. Deadlines confirmed. Reminders 48 hours before closing.

What you get each week

Every Tuesday, a complete package designed to get your bid submitted on time and on the money.

Every live contract in one place

Federal, provincial, and municipal tenders aggregated so you don't check six portals. We do that.

"Why you can win" notes

Plain-English analysis of competition, requirements, and registration complexity — so you know which ones are worth your time.

Pre-bid checklist

Insurance, WCB clearance, references, bonding — we tell you exactly what each tender requires so your bid isn't disqualified.

48-hour deadline reminders

We email you two days before every closing date. You'll never miss a filing window again.

Verified deadlines, always

Every closing date is clicked and confirmed on the source notice before it's sent. No guessed dates, ever.

Pick your trade

We serve two trades with tailored tender alerts. Each gets its own weekly list, curated to your equipment and licensing.

One price. No hidden fees.

The same weekly list, deadline reminders, and analysis — whether you're a solo operator or a 50-person crew.

Janitorial Services — City of Surrey Civic Facilities Closing Soon
📍 Surrey, BC 💰 Est. $180K–$240K/year 📅 Closes Sep 22, 2026 📋 36-month term

Recurring cleaning of municipal buildings including City Hall, Surrey Sport & Leisure Complex, and three community centres. Requires WCB clearance and $2M liability insurance. Weekly service with deep-cleaning schedule.

💡 Why you can win: No specialized equipment needed. Previous contractor had similar scope. Bonding not required for bids under $500K. Two bidders is typical for this scope in the Lower Mainland.
Snow Removal & Ice Control — Ontario Government Buildings Region 4 Closing Soon

Winter maintenance for 12 government office locations including plowing, salting, and walkway clearing. Contractor provides all equipment and materials. On-call response within 4 hours of snowfall.

💡 Why you can win: Multi-location contracts are hard for big firms to staff profitably — perfect for a mid-size local operator. Previous vendor was a similar-sized company. WSIB coverage required.
