pubsec/data

Canadian public procurement, measured.

Our research team compiles Canadian public-sector contracting records — awards, tenders, bidders, and challenges — into a single versioned corpus, and publishes the aggregate findings here: statistics, tools, and research notes. No raw records, no dumps — aggregates only.
