How they buy

Across the financial & professional services notices we currently hold for Canada, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by request for proposal, prequalification and expression of interest. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Professional-services tenders — consultancy, advisory, audit, research, monitoring and evaluation — are usually awarded on the strength of the technical proposal and team credentials rather than price alone. Read the terms of reference carefully, map your methodology to the stated deliverables, and evidence comparable assignments. Watch for key-expert requirements and reporting schedules.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
