Federal Programmes & Procurement
Win the bid in your own name.
Federal and provincial money moves through programmes and procurement, and the people who award it want to deal with the company doing the work, not an agent. We build the read on whether you qualify, the application, and the bid strategy, then put you in front of the programme as the credible applicant.
The hard part is not filling in the form. It is reading the programme the way the evaluator does: what the stream is actually buying, where the points sit, and what a Treasury Board analyst needs to see to sign off. We write the application and the business case to that standard, qualify the opportunity before you spend a quarter chasing it, and position the bid against how it will be scored. Federal R&D and innovation streams, ISED-administered programmes, and PSPC procurement; on defence files, the Defence Procurement Strategy and the ITB and Value Proposition frameworks. The matching Ontario and other-provincial programmes come with it.

- The situation
- A growth-stage hardware company sees a federal innovation stream that looks like a fit, with six weeks to the deadline and no in-house grants team.
- What we’d build
- We qualify it against the real eligibility, find the one mandatory criterion they would have missed, and build the application and costing to Treasury Board standard — then prep the founder to speak to it directly with the programme officer.
- Where it lands
- The company submits a bid that reads like the people who will deliver it wrote it, because they did, and the founder can answer every question the evaluator asks.
