Where to find Newfoundland and Labrador procurement notices
The Public Procurement Agency directs suppliers to MERX/SOVRA for provincial open calls for bids. It provides a separate directory for opportunities from other public bodies. Some procurement notices also appear on CanadaBuys, so check the original solicitation number when the same purchase appears in several places.

How to focus your search
- Distinguish work on the island of Newfoundland from work in Labrador when assessing freight, travel and the availability of a local team.
- Use the agency's public-body directory for municipal, education and other institutional opportunities beyond the central government listing.
- For duplicate notices across platforms, confirm the issuing buyer and solicitation number before deciding which documents are current.
