Where to find Northwest Territories procurement notices
The Government of the Northwest Territories publishes procurement opportunities through its Contract Event Opportunities website. Suppliers can download and bid on opportunities online and sign up for notifications in their areas of interest. The government's guidance also points to awarded contracts and contract reports for research.

How to focus your search
- Read the delivery community and service schedule carefully; a Yellowknife buyer address may cover work elsewhere in the territory.
- Review previous awards for similar purchases to understand the buyer, then price against the new requirements and delivery conditions.
- Check the solicitation's supplier declarations and supporting forms early so you have time to gather evidence before closing.
Can I research past GNWT contracts before bidding?
Yes. GNWT's procurement FAQ points suppliers to awarded contracts and quarterly and yearly reports on its contract opportunities website. Use them to understand past buying patterns, without assuming that the next contract has the same scope or conditions.
Before you prepare a response
Check the scope, mandatory qualifications, evaluation criteria, closing date and time zone, and the buyer's question deadline. Keep the original notice and any addenda with your working documents. Submit through the channel specified by the buyer.
