Revenu Québec certificate (attestation): required for contracts of $25,000 or more.
RENA: a business listed in the register of ineligible enterprises can't bid.
Francization (OQLF): required for businesses with 25 or more employees in Québec.
Invitation to tender: below thresholds, a Québec department or agency should generally invite at least three businesses, including at least one SMB (250 employees or fewer).
Technical specs, samples, warranties: per each tender document.

How Veillea helps

Create a profile: keywords in English and French, categories (UNSPSC/GSIN), regions. Multiple profiles for multiple lines of business.
Veillea collects and matches SEAO and CanadaBuys notices every day, in both languages.
Decide fast: notices ranked by relevance, EN/FR summary (scope, buyer, deadline), deadline badges, filters by source, category, region or date.

Suggested keywords: "supplies", "equipment", your product names, plus French equivalents ("fournitures", "équipement", "approvisionnement").

Coverage: SEAO (Québec) and CanadaBuys (federal) live. MERX, Bids&Tenders, municipal sites (Montréal first) and the Ontario portal in development, included at no extra cost when they launch.

Veillea does not replace registering on SEAO, CanadaBuys or a buyer's portal: to get documents and bid, you still use the official platform. Summaries help you triage; the official notice always prevails.

General information, not legal advice. Check the requirements in each tender document and with the official bodies.
