A note from Matt
I'm Matt, and I'm based in Hamilton. Every week I go through seven municipal bid portals and pull the award results most contractors never look at. Ontario Bid Brief is the brief I'd want if I were bidding this work myself. Got a question about a tender? Reply to any issue. I read every one.

Anyone who bids on municipal construction and trade work from Hamilton to Durham, whether you own the company or run the estimates. Also for anyone who hasn't bid yet but wants to start.
What areas do you cover?
A focused read worth your time — the signal, not the scroll. You can preview an issue before you commit.
Do you do custom research for my business?
Yes. On a monthly retainer I go through the open contracts in your trade and region and tell you which are worth bidding, backed by 12 months of award history. One client per trade per region. Reply to any issue with the word "consulting" to start.
