Free Canadian RFP working file
Map every requirement before you write the proposal.
Download a clean 25-row compliance matrix for Canadian public-sector RFPs. Track mandatory criteria, evidence, ownership, response location, risk, and review status in one CSV.
No email or account required. Independent working aid—not an official Government of Canada form.
What is inside
Fourteen fields that keep the response traceable.

Use the matrix in five passes.
- Shred the notice. Add every instruction, mandatory criterion, rated criterion, form, certification, and deadline as its own row.
- Preserve the source. Record the document and section so a reviewer can return to the exact requirement.
- Assign evidence. Name the owner and the proof the proposal must contain—not merely a promise to comply.
- Expose gaps early. Mark unresolved mandatory items and high-risk dependencies before proposal writing consumes the budget.
- Cross-reference the final response. Record where each requirement is answered, then complete an independent review.
