Tender Portal

Tender & Procurement Portal

A National Portal for Posting, Aggregating, and Matching Opportunities

The TIBT Tender Portal is a centralized procurement environment. Its purpose is to bring together opportunities from across Canada and connect them directly with verified Indigenous businesses. It is powered by national aggregation, AI-driven matchmaking, and buyer posting tools, aiming to provide a streamlined, modern experience for both sides of the procurement process.

For Indigenous Businesses

Visibility, Access, and Intelligent Opportunity Matching

Indigenous businesses gain immediate access to thousands of opportunities collected from federal, provincial, municipal, and industry tendering platforms.

This section then lists specific benefits each business receives:

• Automated AI Matchmaking: Opportunities are matched based on criteria such as trade, location, capacity, MasterFormat division, equipment, bonding, or certifications.
• National Procurement Aggregation: All relevant tenders appear in one place, eliminating the need to search across multiple portals.
• Customized Opportunity Feeds: Businesses can view opportunities aligned to their profile and set notifications for specific regions or scopes.
• Direct Invitations From Buyers: Buyers have the ability to select and invite Indigenous suppliers directly through the portal.

This gives businesses equal visibility and a clear line of sight to the work happening nationwide.

For Buyers

A Direct Channel to Indigenous Suppliers and Project-Ready Visibility

The Tender Portal gives buyers the ability to plan, post, and distribute opportunities with far greater reach and clarity:

• Post Direct Procurement Opportunities: Describes how buyers can publish various types of procurement requests (RFQs, RFPs, ITTs), subcontracting packages, or conduct early market-sounding directly on TIBT.
• AI-Assisted Supplier Recommendations: Explains that the system recommends Indigenous businesses aligned with each bid package based on service category, region, or experience.
• National Supplier Reach: States that buyers can access a full directory and align outreach with verified Indigenous businesses from across the country.
• Transparency & Participation Tracking: Details that engagement, invitations, and responses are tracked to support reporting requirements and Indigenous inclusion goals.

This gives buyers a structured, compliant, and scalable way to reach Indigenous businesses for projects of any size.

How the Portal Works

Integrated, Intelligent, and Built for Procurement Workflows

• Nationwide Aggregation: Explains that TIBT collects public-sector and industry opportunities from major tendering platforms across Canada.
• AI Matching Engine: Describes how bid packages are analyzed and paired with business profiles that fit the trade, capability, or region.
