Bid intelligence · eight provinces

The public bids that match your trade, in your inbox every morning.

Cities, school boards, health authorities, utilities and provincial agencies post work every day, spread across 270 portals and procurement pages nobody has time to check, from Vancouver Island to St. John's. SIGNAL checks them daily, scores every posting against your trade and service area, and sends you the ones worth your morning coffee.

First 90 days free on launch pricing. Month to month after that.

270 public sources checked daily ON · BC · AB · SK · MB · NS · NB · NL New postings matched every morning

How it works

Three steps, then it just runs.

No dashboards to babysit. Tell SIGNAL what you do once, and the matches come to you.

  1. Tell it your trade

    Pick your trade and the cities you will actually drive to. That is the whole setup.

  2. It reads everything daily

    SIGNAL sweeps public procurement sources in eight provinces every day: municipal portals, bids&tenders, MERX, Biddingo, SaskTenders, CanadaBuys and the direct sites in between.

  3. You get the matches

    Each posting is scored against your profile. The ones that fit land in your inbox with the deadline, the buyer and the link to bid.

The 40-second version

Watch what SIGNAL does.

One video, no jargon: where the bids come from and what shows up in your inbox.

SIGNAL in 40 seconds.

What it watches

The work is public. Finding it is the job.

Public buyers must post their work, but they post it everywhere. SIGNAL reads the spread so you do not have to.

  • Cities and regionsMunicipal bid portals from Ontario to BC, Alberta and Atlantic Canada, from the big cities to the townships that post twice a year.
  • School boardsBoards tender roofing, paving, HVAC, electrical and maintenance work on their own schedules.
  • Transit, utilities and infrastructureAgencies like Metrolinx and the TTC, Metro Vancouver, EPCOR and NL Hydro, plus community housing providers.
  • Universities and health careCampus and facility work that never makes it to the portals contractors already check.
  • Whole provinces at onceSaskTenders for all of Saskatchewan, MERX for Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador, and CanadaBuys for federal work. See every source, province by province.
  • Your inbox, not another appMatches arrive as email. The web app is there when you want to dig, not because you have to.

Straight answers

What SIGNAL is, and is not.

It is not a lead-gen list. Every posting is a real public bid or tender from a real public buyer, with the closing date and the source link. Nothing is resold, and nobody else is charged for the same "exclusive" lead.

It will not win the work for you. SIGNAL finds the table; you still have to bid. What it removes is the hours of checking portals, and the sick feeling of finding the perfect job two days after it closed.

It fits some trades better than others. Public buyers tender whole jobs, so general contractors, civil and road work, underground servicing, grounds and site services see the most direct postings. Interior finishing trades are usually hired by the winning GC, not tendered directly, and will see fewer matches. We would rather tell you that here than after you sign up.

It covers what it can read, and says so. Some provinces publish on portals whose rules turn automated readers away (Alberta Purchasing Connection, BC Bid), so SIGNAL does not read them, and Calgary and Quebec are not covered yet. The coverage pages list every source by name, live.

It is built in Hamilton, Ontario. By Blue Crane Works, a company that builds software for the trades. When something looks off, a person answers.

The next job is already posted. Somewhere.

Setup takes about two minutes: your trade, your cities, done. The first 90 days cost nothing and do not ask for a card.
