What CanPursue does
CanPursue brings active tenders, buyer context, supplier history, awards, contracts, amendments and source links into one public research layer. For paying workspaces, Company Profile can be used to qualify opportunities, monitor amendments and organize bid decisions. The product is decision support: the official notice and solicitation package always control.
Which sources are covered
Federal tenders, awards, contract history and standing offers come from CanadaBuys open data. Québec records come from the SEAO open-data feeds. Open tenders from Saskatchewan, Nunavut and the City of Toronto are read daily from each portal, and Government of Yukon tenders from Yukon open data. Contracts over $10,000 from every federal department, Alberta sole-source contracts, Manitoba contract disclosures, and awarded contracts from the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Montréal are read weekly from their open data. Coverage is not a claim of complete Canadian, provincial or municipal monitoring: some provinces publish no open feed, and every record links back to its official notice.

How evidence is labeled
Observed means the fact is directly present in an official or persisted public record. Derived means it is calculated from linked procurement records. Estimated means it is a bounded analytical estimate. Unknown means the available source data does not support a conclusion. CanPursue does not turn missing information into eligibility, verification, contract value or a win claim.
How records should be read
A public record is a starting point for research, not permission to bid. Confirm the closing date, amendment history, mandatory requirements, security requirements, supplier eligibility, pricing instructions and submission method in the official notice or solicitation package. When a CanPursue page says a value, relationship or deadline is unknown, treat that as a deliberate evidence boundary rather than an invitation to infer.
What CanPursue does not promise
CanPursue does not submit bids, replace procurement or legal counsel, guarantee that every relevant notice will be discovered, claim Government of Canada endorsement, or treat a contract end date as proof that a replacement solicitation will be issued. Businesses should verify every consequential detail against the official source before acting.
Who it is for
The public research layer is designed for Canadian founders, business-development leads, proposal managers and government-contracting advisors who need market context before committing bid capacity. Monitoring and qualification features are for workspaces that want to apply a documented company profile to new activity.
Why the product exists
Public procurement data is available, but deciding where a small proposal team should spend time is harder than finding a keyword match. CanPursue is designed to make that decision more explainable: show the relevant record, preserve its source boundary, surface blockers and unknowns, and let the business decide whether to pursue.
