In Canada:
There are two main types of tendering websites: those managed by public entities and those run by private companies. Public entities ensure the proper functioning and distribution of the tenders themselves. On the other hand, private companies can function as aggregators, republishing tenders that have been published by others. Often, these aggregators do not name the original sources, their references are incorrect, details are missing, and links to the original pages are lacking.
Extrn excludes aggregators and only searches for original pages. Acting as a representative of your company, Extrn selects results just for you and can outperform any aggregator tender site. |

In the United States: See our map, clicking on each state reveals the names of the monitored organizations.
What type of sites are monitored in the US? We started monitoring the US in 2023 with federal procurement sites and sites for each state, followed by the 50 cities with the biggest budgets, State D.O.T.s (Departments of Transportations) and other transportation agencies. Now we are focusing on Universities and the Health sector. In January 2025, we are at 633 sites and are aiming for 2000 public tender websites.
Users need to learn how to bid and win contracts, but we have studied each site, and we are able to help our customers navigate to the tender documents because we know the sites by heart.
Many US sites have tenders on one site, documents on a second a third site for uploading your bids. Some are free and others require a subscription, and you might have to upload tax documents and other formal documents proving your company’s identity. We have done the full process in each site and can tell you what to do when we find you a relevant opportunity. This is an excellent advantage in that you only invest this time once a tender is found.
Our Usa tender service is available as its own subscription or combined with a Canadian public tender referral service.
