Vendor Analytics

Research any company that wins Canadian government contracts: their award history, buyers, categories, and competitive posture. Use it to size up competitors before a bid, evaluate potential teaming partners, or understand an incumbent.

Vendor explorer

The Vendors tab in the Analytics workspace is a searchable, paginated explorer of every vendor in the award data (50 per page):

• Search by company name.
• Sortable columns — total awards and total award value.
• Each row shows the vendor's city and province and, where profiled, their primary industry.
• On the Québec data source, rows also show bid statistics from SEAO: total bids, wins, win rate, average bid value, and average rank.
• If your plan includes organization intelligence, a track button adds the vendor to your tracked competitors.

Click any vendor to open its full profile page.

Vendor index

A standalone directory lives at /analytics/vendors — the same searchable list with an industry sector filter, useful for browsing outside the workspace.

Vendor profile pages

Each vendor has a dossier-style profile page at /analytics/vendors/<name> (Québec competitors have equivalent pages at /analytics/quebec-competitors/<name>). The header summarizes total awards, total contract value, active contracts, largest and median contract, and how long the vendor has been active.

The profile is organized into four tabs:

Overview

Award growth over time, a portfolio snapshot (awards, active contracts, average/median/largest values, years active), and an automatically derived posture read: apparent strengths (strong sectors, key buyers) and potential weaknesses (buyer concentration, declining industry trend).

Track record

UNSPSC classification of the vendor's work, category breakdown by award value, and the most recent contract awards — click a row for full contract details, including sibling vendors on the same solicitation.

Compete

Positions the vendor against your company profile: a deal-qualification match score, the capabilities you meet, the gaps you would need to close, and readiness by department. Where available, federal lobbying activity is shown: communications, registrations, and which institutions were contacted.

Market signals

Recent activity — new awards, new tenders, amendments, category expansions — plus market context such as the average number of bidders in the vendor's space.

Common uses

• Pre-bid research — check an incumbent's history with the buying department before deciding to bid.
• Teaming — find vendors strong in capabilities or regions you lack.
• Competitor tracking — with organization intelligence, keep enriched profiles of the competitors you meet most often (Competitive Intel tab → Tracked).
