We are pleased to announce several key enhancements to the BidWatch Search Project as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering comprehensive and timely procurement intelligence to our users.
1. Increased Frequency of Opportunity Indexing
We have significantly improved the frequency at which BidWatch Search indexes government procurement opportunities. Users will now benefit from more real-time visibility into newly published tenders, ensuring timely access to opportunities as they become available.
2. Expanded Federal Government Coverage
BidWatch Search has broadened its coverage of federal procurement by integrating tendering data from an expanded range of federal departments and agencies. This enhancement increases the breadth and depth of opportunities accessible through the platform, supporting suppliers across a wider spectrum of industries and services.
3. Upcoming Municipal Coverage Expansion
In the coming weeks, BidWatch Search will begin expanding and testing its coverage to include some municipal-level procurement opportunities, with a focus on major Canadian cities. This phased rollout is aimed at supporting businesses looking to engage with local government contracts and further diversifying the opportunity base available to our users.
4. Enhanced Calendar Functionality
BidWatch Search now offers improved support for adding tender deadlines and key dates directly to your Microsoft Outlook Calendar. We are actively working on expanding this functionality to include real-time calendar synchronization, with support for both Microsoft and Google Calendar integration planned in the coming weeks.
5. Improved RFX Document Retrieval and Accessibility
We have enhanced BidWatch Search to retrieve RFX documents from a broader range of tender postings, significantly increasing the number of opportunities with accessible documentation. Our upgraded retrieval process enables more streamlined and direct access to procurement documents.
These updates represent a strategic step forward in our mission to provide accurate, timely, and comprehensive public sector procurement intelligence. We remain committed to continuous improvement and welcome feedback from our user community to help shape future developments.
