Discover and bid on open Canadian defence tenders, National Defence (DND), the Canadian Armed Forces and Defence Construction Canada. Live from CanadaBuys.
CanadaBuys rarely publishes per-bid criteria weighting, so the MEAT share above uses the broader multi-source defence award segment as a proxy. Canadian-supplier and incumbency rates are computed directly from National Defence award notices. No figures are estimated.
Major defence/Coast Guard procurements require business activity in Canada equal to 100% of contract value. Many competitions include a rated, scored Value Proposition (often up to ~10% of total score). Treat the VP as a scored section: quantify Canadian Content Value, name Canadian suppliers/regions, tie commitments to the rating grid.
ISED: ITB Policy & VP ↗Defence bids are governed tri-departmentally, PSPC (contracting), DND (requirement) and ISED (economic benefits). A proposal is judged on capability AND economic benefit AND deliverability. Address all three explicitly.
Canada.ca: DPS ↗To examine, possess or transfer controlled goods (most military/defence articles and technical data), your firm must be registered in the federal Controlled Goods Program. Register early, many defence solicitations require it before contract award.
PSPC: CGP ↗Classified or protected defence work requires organisation and personnel security clearances through the federal Contract Security Program (CSP). Clearances take time, start sponsorship before the closing date, not after.
