Bidaya AI will recommend relevant opportunities from numerous bid sites across Canada. The recommendations are based on your company profile which you can edit at any time.

How it works

  • Every day, Bidaya monitors thousands of bids from across Canada

  • Rather than use 'keywords' to search, we use AI to recommend the most relevant bids

  • Recommendations are emailed to you and can also be accessed via the web portal

AI matching is more powerful than keywords because it looks at the actual scope of work, client type and other nuances that would not be captured by keywords alone. For you, this means a more comprehensive search that returns more relevant recommendations.

Modifying your preferences

Recommendations are based on your Company Profile in the Knowledge Library tab which is fully editable for you to refine.

When your account is created, we generate one for your firm based on your firm's website so you have a starting point.

For best results, we recommend that the Company Profile includes:

  • Company summary: 1-2 sentences about your firm

  • Core Capabilities & Services: list services you offer

  • Target Sectors, Clients & Regions: list of target sectors/clients

  • Negative Constraints & Exclusions: what you don't do

You can also select which provinces you want to get sent bids from under your profile.

Bid Portals we monitor

We currently monitor the following websites daily (the list is constantly being updated

  • MERX

  • Canada Buys

  • Bids&Tenders

  • Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC)

  • BC Bid

  • SaskTenders

  • Ontario Tenders Portal

This covers the vast majority of Canadian bids especially given many opportunities are cross-posted on multiple bid sites (which we clean up for you).

Saving Opportunities

You can save opportunities you are interested in for further qualification. This will automatically create a Project but not the files.

Bid Documents

You will have to obtain the bid documents from the respective source and upload them to Bidaya. You will need an account with the bid portal to access bid documents and submit your response.

After saving, you will be prompted to add bid documents to unlock fill Projects functionality.
