Use Case · Public and Private Tenders
Every tender, ranked by fit.
Tender notices pile up on MERX, BC Bid, Biddingo, SEAO, and dozens of owner portals. Stepscale watches all of them at once, flags what is worth your time, and keeps every deadline straight.
What it is
Public and Private Tenders (Tender), explained.
A tender is a public or private call for bids, posted across a sprawl of portals like MERX, BC Bid, Biddingo, SEAO, and countless owner sites, each with its own login, categories, and notification rules. The problem is rarely finding a tender. It is finding the right ones in the noise, then keeping the addenda, question periods, site visits, and deadlines straight once you commit. Good tender management sits upstream of every other document here, because it decides which opportunities even reach your desk.

Why it's hard
Where Tenders go wrong.
Scattered sources. Every portal has its own login, categories, and notification rules.
Noise over signal. For every relevant tender there are fifty that are nowhere near your work.
Deadline bookkeeping. Addenda, question periods, and site visits are buried in PDFs nobody opens twice.

FAQ
Tender questions, answered.
Where are public tenders posted in Canada?
Opportunities are spread across portals like MERX, BC Bid, Biddingo, SEAO, and individual owner and municipal sites, each with its own account and categories. Stepscale watches them in one unified feed so nothing relevant slips past.
How do I find tenders that fit my firm?
The hard part is the noise, since most postings are nowhere near your work. Stepscale ranks new tenders against your services, disciplines, and recent wins so your team reviews the few worth pursuing instead of scrolling every portal.
