Logarithmic scale: Quebec has more than a hundred times the Yukon, and a linear scale would make eleven provinces indistinguishable.

This map counts the tenders offra tracks, and the coverage is not the same everywhere. In Quebec, SEAO publishes every public body. In Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, municipal portals are added — ninety-four in all, plus the City of Toronto. Elsewhere in Canada, only CanadaBuys federal notices are indexed. And in no province outside Quebec is the provincial portal itself indexed: BC Bid and the Alberta Purchasing Connection permit neither the collection nor the redistribution of their notices, and the Atlantic provinces' portals offer no open feed. A pale province therefore means “we track little of it”, not “little is published there”.

A federal notice can name several provinces of delivery; it is then counted in each. The totals are therefore comparable from one province to another, but they do not add up to a Canadian total — and this page publishes none.

Territorial boundaries: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census Boundary Files (provinces and territories, cartographic version), Open Government Licence – Canada, simplified for display. Small islands are omitted; Hudson Bay belongs to no province and is left white.

The columns say where each notice comes from. SEAO covers every Quebec public body; CanadaBuys, the federal notices across the country; the last two, the City of Toronto and ninety-four municipal portals in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. A dash means no source of that kind publishes for that province — not that nothing happens there. In Alberta it also means Calgary and Edmonton are not in it: the province's two largest buyers publish elsewhere.

Off the map

305 open federal notices are marked “Canada”: the work is pan-Canadian and belongs to no province. Another 161 name no province of delivery at all. Both are excluded from the map, because spreading them across the thirteen jurisdictions would add the same number everywhere and erase the whole gradient.

5 notices are for delivery abroad and appear nowhere on this page.

Of 833 open federal notices, 362 name between one and twelve provinces and are therefore placed on the map. A “Canada” marking, no marking at all, and a marking we cannot interpret all produce thirteen provinces at once: thirteen means “province unknown”, never “everywhere”.
