Illustration: the Publicus app bringing together $300B a year of public procurement, then showing a business view of contracts coming back to market, who is winning, and what buyers paid, and a government view of contracts at risk, true vendor ownership, and consolidation savings.

The platform

The single source of truth on government procurement, globally

Government buying data is scattered across hundreds of portals and buried in messy records. Publicus brings it together, and AI reads every contract, award, amendment, and opportunity in context.

For businesses

See what is renewing, who is winning, and what buyers pay

Publicus is like having your own government market analyst. It tells you which contracts are coming up for renewal, so you can start preparing long before the RFP is posted.

For governments

Catch a contract in trouble before it becomes a problem

Publicus warns your team when a contract is close to going over budget or keeps getting amended, so you can fix it before it becomes a problem.

Publicus is an AI platform for government procurement. We collect and clean procurement data from hundreds of sources and use AI to read every contract, award, amendment, and opportunity in context, for businesses that sell to government and for the government teams that buy.

  • For businesses: Your own government market analyst: who is winning, what is renewing, and what buyers pay, plus every live opportunity each morning.
  • For governments: Contracts flagged before they run over budget, get amended again, or expire without a plan, plus savings and true vendor ownership across 4,340+ public buyers.
  • Coverage: Federal, provincial, municipal, and MASH-sector procurement updated multiple times daily, both live opportunities and historical contract awards.

Flag at-risk contracts while there is still time to act

    Every contract checked against its value, term, and amendment history, with an alert when one is burning budget faster than its term, nearing its ceiling, being amended repeatedly, or expiring without a plan.

Publicus at a glance

Questions, answered

More in the Help Center & FAQ

  • What is Publicus?

    Publicus is an AI platform for government procurement. We collect and clean procurement data from hundreds of sources and use AI to read every contract, award, amendment, and opportunity in context. Businesses use it to track who is winning, what is renewing, and what buyers pay, alongside a daily briefing of new opportunities. Government teams use it to see every contract's value, amendments, and renewal date in one view, so they act before problems surface.

  • What data sources does Publicus cover?

    Over 200 federal, provincial, municipal, and MASH-sector procurement sources across Canada. Updated multiple times daily.

  • Who is Publicus for?

    Both sides of public procurement. For businesses that sell to government, Publicus is your own government market analyst: who is winning, what is renewing, and what buyers pay. For government teams, it is the analyst who spots a contract in trouble before it becomes a problem.

  • How is Publicus different from individual procurement portals?

    Individual procurement portals show opportunities from their own network. Publicus aggregates across the market and adds intelligence on top: qualification support, competitive analysis from historical contracts, pricing context, and vendor analytics.

  • Can Publicus help businesses find government contracts in Canada?

    Yes. Publicus gives vendors one searchable market view across Canadian procurement sources, then layers on qualification, renewal visibility, pricing context, and award intelligence so teams can focus on the contracts worth winning.

  • Can Publicus help governments save money on procurement?

    Yes. Publicus helps governments spot duplicate purchasing, benchmark vendor pricing against peer buyers, identify consolidation opportunities, and flag contracts that need action before renewals lock in contracts they don't need.

  • Can Publicus help identify renewals?

    Yes. Publicus shows every contract coming back to market with the buyer, incumbent, value, and expected end date, so businesses start positioning months before the RFP drops and governments have time to run a proper competitive process instead of an extension.

  • Can Publicus help benchmark pricing?

    Yes. Publicus uses historical contract and award data to help compare prices across buyers, categories, and jurisdictions. That gives vendors better market context and gives governments a clearer view of what they should be paying.

  • Can Publicus help track competitors and incumbents?

    Yes. Publicus connects awards, vendors, buyers, and categories so teams see who is winning, where incumbents are vulnerable, and which buyers or categories deserve more go-to-market attention.

  • Can Publicus help with Buy Canadian and vendor ownership analysis?

    Yes. Publicus shows who really owns a vendor, including cases where a supplier appears Canadian but is actually controlled by a foreign parent company or private equity structure.

  • Does Publicus cover federal, provincial, and municipal procurement?

    Yes. Publicus covers federal, provincial, municipal, and MASH-sector sources across Canada. The goal is one market view across jurisdictions instead of fragmented visibility.

  • Does Publicus cover contract awards as well as active opportunities?

    Yes. Publicus tracks both live opportunities and historical awards, which makes it possible to benchmark pricing, analyse incumbents, and understand how categories move over time.

  • Is my data secure?

    SOC 2 compliant, Canadian cloud, 256-bit encryption, multi-factor authentication. We never train AI on customer data.

  • Is Publicus a Canadian company?

    Yes. Publicus is Canadian-founded, Canadian-operated, and built for Canadian government procurement. We are also part of Innovative Solutions Canada and listed on the AI Source List.

  • How quickly can I get started?

    Most teams are live within 24 hours. We configure your profile, set up your filters, and deliver matched opportunities the same day.

  • Do I need to fill out a form before using Publicus?

    No. The best practice for a self-serve product is a direct signup flow, so Publicus lets teams start a free trial immediately and book a demo only if they want guided onboarding.
