Register as a supplier:
Federal procurement is moving online. During this transition, you may be able to bid on some tender opportunities through CanadaBuys. Some opportunities will continue to require bid submission through other methods such as a bid receiving unit or through Canada Post Connect. Each procurement opportunity will clearly detail the delivery method to submit a bid.
There are two types of registration for suppliers:
- Register in Supplier Registration Information (SRI) to obtain your procurement business number. This number is currently required for bids that are not processed through SAP Ariba.
- If you are already registered in SRI, verify that your supplier registration information is up-to-date.
- For step-by-step instructions to guide you through the registration process, view the Registering in SRI reference sheet.
- Register in SAP Ariba to bid on opportunities posted to the electronic procurement solution.
- If you are already registered in SAP Ariba, log in to verify your supplier details.
- For step-by-step instructions to guide you through the registration process, view the SAP Ariba registration checklist or the step-by-step registration guide.

Contract History is organized by the official supplier names of tender awards issued by PSPC. You can also filter the results by Good or Service, Department, or Supplier name.
