TenderFit Canada/Bid/no-bid calculator

Should you bid on this Canadian tender?

Use six first-pass checks before your team spends hours reading, pricing, and writing. The result is a screening prompt—not an eligibility or win-probability assessment.

01Can you meet every known mandatory requirement?

Treat each mandatory criterion as pass or fail.

02Do you have the required vehicle and security status?

Check supply arrangements, source lists, clearances, and certifications.

03How strong is your directly relevant experience?

Use projects you can prove, not general capability.

04Can your team support the bid and delivery timeline?

Include questions, partners, pricing, writing, review, and delivery.

05How closely does the scope match what you already sell?

A close fit should need little reinvention or speculative partnering.

06Can the contract produce an acceptable margin and cash profile?

Consider delivery cost, insurance, payment timing, and bid effort.

Why these checks matter

CanadaBuys advises suppliers to identify every mandatory requirement, follow all bidding conditions, and verify security requirements before preparing a submission. Its small-business procurement guidance also recognizes that limited bid capacity, short timelines, insurance, liability, and payment terms can create material barriers.
