How it works
How Publicus turns procurement data into answers
Publicus collects procurement data from hundreds of sources, reads every record with AI, and turns it into answers your team can act on.
Publicus collecting new records from federal, provincial, municipal, school board, health, and Crown corporation sources through the day.
Publicus runs a four-stage pipeline: collect, structure, enrich, and deliver. AI agents pull procurement records from hundreds of sources, classify and deduplicate them, layer in vendor and pricing intelligence, then deliver matched opportunities and analytics through daily briefings, dashboards, and an API.
- Collect: AI agents monitor hundreds of federal, provincial, municipal, and MASH-sector procurement sources across Canada, updated multiple times daily.
- Structure & enrich: Records are classified, deduplicated, connected to vendors and buyers, and layered with ownership, pricing, and renewal intelligence.
- Deliver: Personalized daily email briefings, semantic search, dashboards, renewal alerts, and API access for enterprise integrations.
Context
Why is procurement data so hard to use?
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.
Our approach
From raw data to actionable intelligence
Four steps turn scattered public records into the answers on your screen each morning.
01 · Collection
Hundreds of sources, updated daily
AI agents watch major and niche procurement sources across every level of government and add new ones all the time, so your team never has to check a portal again.

02 · Structuring
AI that reads like a procurement officer
Sources call the same thing by different names and spell one vendor a dozen ways. Our AI reads each record, cleans it, and connects every vendor to its contracts, its buyers, and its true owner.

FAQ
How the platform works
How does Publicus collect procurement data?
Our AI agents monitor hundreds of 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.
