Canada Government Tenders & Contract Awards Scraper (CanadaBuys) by TenderFeed

Find Canadian federal government tenders and contract awards from CanadaBuys, the Government of Canada's official procurement service (Public Services and Procurement Canada, Shared Services Canada, National Defence, RCMP, Defence Construction Canada and every other federal buyer). Filter by keyword, UNSPSC or GSIN code, category, region, buyer, notice type, publication and closing date, supplier and contract value. You get clean JSON, CSV or Excel with buyer, closing date, regions of delivery, trade agreements, solicitation number, bid-document links and, for awards, the winning supplier and contract value.

Built by TenderFeed (apify.com/tenderfeed) on the official CanadaBuys open data files (Open Government Licence – Canada). No API key, no login, no browser.

What can you do with it?

• Daily bid alerts for your sales team: new federal RFPs, standing offers and supply arrangements that match your keywords or UNSPSC codes, sent to Slack, email or Google Sheets.
• Competitor tracking: see which contracts your competitors won, with values and end dates (good for planning re-bids).
• Market research: who buys what, where and through which trade agreements.
• AI agents: call it as an MCP tool and ask "Which open IT services tenders close in the next 30 days?"

Other fields: description (full notice text), documentsUrl and attachments (bid documents), submissionUrl (MERX / SAP Ariba link when the notice has one), regionsOfDelivery, regionsOfOpportunity, buyerProvince, endUserEntities, gsinCodes, selectionCriteria, limitedTenderingReason, expectedContractStart and expectedContractEnd. Award rows add awardees, awardedValue, currency, contractNumber, contractAwardDate, contractStart, contractEnd, supplierCity, supplierProvince and instrumentType.

Field coverage (live test, 2026-10-29)

100 open tenders: description 99, closing date 100, UNSPSC 96, regions 92, bid documents link 87, contact email 100 (with includeBuyerContacts). 100 recent awards: supplier 100, UNSPSC 99, contract end date 99, value 74 (CanadaBuys publishes 0 for some awards).

The data follows the same normalized schema as our other TenderFeed Actors (EU TED, SAM.gov, UK, Grants.gov, USAspending), so several countries land in one table.

Contacts (includeBuyerContacts)

Off by default (privacy-friendly): the contracting officer's name, email and phone are removed, and emails inside descriptions are masked. Turn it on to get them; CanadaBuys publishes a named contact for most notices.

Daily alerts ("only new" monitoring mode)

Turn on onlyNew, set a monitoringId (for example "it-services-ontario") and schedule the Actor daily. Each run returns, and charges for, only notices you have not received yet. In our test, a second identical run skipped all 5 notices delivered by the first and returned 5 different ones.

Sample output (real run)

One row from a run on 6 November 2026 (core columns only; every row also has description, status, procedureType, documentsUrl and more). Contact values are masked here. Since schema 1.2 every row also carries the cross-source columns country, deadline, valueAmount, valueCurrency and cpvOrNaics next to the original ones (buyerCountry, deadlineAt, estimatedValue, currency, cpvCodes/naicsCodes), which are unchanged.

Limits and notes

• Data source: CanadaBuys open data CSV files.
• Access: No login or API key.
• Delays and gaps: CanadaBuys regenerates the open-data files on its own schedule (not real time). Estimated value is often absent on open tenders.
• Contacts: No buyer contact persons are extracted.
• Fields the portal does not publish stay null; nothing is guessed or filled in.

Pricing

Pay per result: you pay only for the notices saved to the dataset (see the price on this page), plus Apify's small run-start fee. The default run (100 open tenders) takes about 5 seconds.
