Built for companies that bid public work
Everyone in the company sees the same tenders and needs something different from them. Here is what changes for each role.
Stop reading tenders you were never going to bid
Roofing, civil, paving, concrete, demolition, mechanical, electrical, controls, telecom, security, snow and grounds, environmental, engineering. A public tender listing does not know which one you are, so it sends you all of it. BidCaliper checks each tender before you open the list.
There is nothing to configure first. Tell it what you do, what you don’t, where you are based, how far you will travel and what tickets you hold. Today’s tenders are checked while you watch.
- What you do, what you don't, your tickets, your bonding limit and your travel radius
- A job with work from two of your trades still reaches you
- Bring in a notice from your own MERX account and it is checked like any other
- Start with a 30-day free trial, no card. Plans from $149 a month (CAD)
A one-person shop and a regional contractor lose the same mornings to the same tender lists. The bigger you are, the more a missed addendum costs.
One company profile, a nine-person Winnipeg mechanical shop working within 1,000 km, checked against every open tender we held on 20 October 2026. It is an example run on real tenders, not a customer’s account.
Reasons you can hand to someone else
You are the one who has to read the document and know what is in it. Every answer opens up to show the checks behind it, with the sentence quoted. Somebody who was not in the room can explain the decision.
BidCaliperOpportunitiesWhat's comingAdd a tenderCompanyDecision recordYOUR COMPANYTwo requirements fail and one needs a decision. Everything else passes. It is still worth reading. It shows which two things stand between you and the work.
An illustration of a tender and its requirement checks. The tender, the clauses and the figures are examples, not a customer's.
Closings, question deadlines, registration windows and mandatory site visits, on one list. The site visit is usually the one that costs work.
What changed, both values, the clause it came from, and what of yours is now out of date. It marks your priced schedule out of date. It does not re-price it.
Upload a takeoff and it is priced against your own hourly cost instead of an industry average. Every input shows where it came from.
Built from what you have saved, with anything missing listed. It says which addendum it is current through, and it never sends anything.
Addendum tracking and takeoff pricing are part of the Bid and Win plans.
Know what you are chasing and how it is going
These answer the questions that usually sit in somebody’s head: what are we in the middle of, what are we committed to, and why do we keep losing a particular kind of work.
Considering, submitted, won, lost and no bid, each with a total you can check. One view instead of a spreadsheet somebody has to keep up.
Outcomes by buyer, by trade, by place and by branch. It shows where you win.
The reasons you declined and the requirements you didn't meet, ranked by how much work each one is costing you.
What you are committed to across live jobs, against the limit your surety gave you. It does not predict what they will approve.
Who has won a buyer's work before, and where else they turn up. Read from public award notices.
What a wider radius, a second base or one more certificate would have opened up, checked against real tenders.
These six are part of the Win plan.
The jobs you turned down are evidence
A COR auditor asks how you consider safety and legislative requirements before you take on work. Every no-bid here is recorded with the reason, the person and the date. It prints as it stood on the day.
Nobody else can recreate that record for you afterwards.

Still early
BidCaliper has checked the live federal and Québec tenders every six hours since August 2026. It was built for one Winnipeg mechanical contractor. The screening figures on this site are run against that company’s profile.
There are no customer logos or testimonials here because we do not have any yet. When we do, they will have names on them.
- Four public sources read directly, under licences that allow it, and building permits and development applications from 29 cities and regions in eight provinces
- Everything we are not allowed to hold, listed and dated
- Every figure on this site says where it came from
- No made-up customers, results or integrations
