HOW IT WORKS

From procurement chaos to actionable intelligence

Hundreds of government sources. Millions of records and documents. Here's how Publicus turns fragmented procurement activity into a system a team can work from.

Publicus runs a four-stage pipeline: collect, structure, enrich, and deliver. AI agents pull procurement records from 200+ sources, classify and deduplicate them, layer in vendor and pricing intelligence, then deliver matched opportunities and analytics through daily briefings, dashboards, and an API.

The problem

Canadian government procurement is published across hundreds of portals, each with different structures, update schedules, and document conventions. There is no single operating view. Vendors check a handful of portals and hope they are not missing something. Government teams still need weeks of manual work to answer basic market questions.

Structuring

AI that reads like a procurement officer

Different sources call the same things different names. Vendors appear under multiple spellings. Categories are inconsistent. Our AI classifies, deduplicates, and standardizes everything: connecting vendors to contracts to buyers to departments.

FAQ

How the platform works

How does Publicus collect procurement data?

Our AI agents monitor 200+ federal, provincial, municipal, and MASH-sector procurement sources across Canada. Sources are scanned multiple times daily and new sources are added continuously. Both live opportunities and historical contract awards are captured.

How does Publicus structure unstructured procurement data?

Different sources call the same things by different names. Vendors appear under multiple spellings. Categories are inconsistent. Our AI classifies, deduplicates, and standardizes every record — connecting vendors to contracts, contracts to buyers, and buyers to departments.

How are opportunities matched to my company?

Publicus uses semantic AI matching, not keyword search. Every opportunity is scored against your company profile based on capabilities, geography, contract size, security requirements, and industry. You see why an opportunity matters before you invest time reading the full document.

How is the daily briefing generated?

Each morning, Publicus assembles new opportunities, renewal signals, and market context that match your profile. Each item arrives with a clear explanation of why it matters and links straight to the source document. The briefing arrives in your inbox before the work day starts.

How quickly can I get started with Publicus?

Most teams are live within 24 hours. We configure your profile, set up your filters, and deliver matched opportunities the same day you sign up. There is no multi-week onboarding process.
