Who won each contract, at what price, and which of these contracts are coming up for renewal is in Publicus. See how it works.

Source: Publicus procurement data as of October 26, 2026. Counts are published award notices grouped by the publisher's own commodity codes, or for the 22% with no code, categorised by Publicus from the award title; values are disclosed amounts in Canadian dollars, and undated awards are not counted, so totals are a floor.
