Every contract a buyer has awarded
Who won it, what was paid, and the award history we hold behind it.
Canadian public safety & defence procurement
The intelligence network for everyone who buys and sells in Canadian public safety and defence.
We read police board and council minutes, inquest recommendations, budget documents and ministry announcements, not just tender portals, and surface the signals that precede procurement.
The agencies, contracts and suppliers on the public record, assembled and held in one place.
01
One market, two sides of the table.
Where money is converging
Budget lines, board decisions and council motions on the same file.
Competitions you can still shape
Consulted, budgeted or decided in the public record, with no tender yet.
What other services paid
Award values by service, as disclosed on the record, on each buyer’s profile.
What other services are tendering
Open competitions across services, as they post, on the closing-soon board.
02
The public record of a purchase, while it is still forming.
An illustrative file, not a specific buyer. It shows the shape a real file takes; the sourced ones live in the member product.
A news story
Regional press reports a core system is reaching end of life, raised at a board meeting.
A budget line
A multi-year sum is carried in the capital budget for the replacement.
A board decision
The board receives the staff report and directs procurement options.
Vendors invited in
An information session is posted to the regional purchasing portal.
Where this sits today
Four steps in, with vendors invited and no solicitation yet posted. Other services have walked exactly this path. Police service A brought its case to the board in September 2024 and carried the decision that January. Police service B's board took the same step in January 2023. Every step of a file like this is a public document you can open.
Read top to bottom, every step of a real file is a public document you can open. Public buying follows this sequence, so you can see where a file has stopped and who else has walked it, and act while the requirement is still open.
