MERX: We are e-tendering

MERX NEWSFor many, MERX is best known as the official tendering site for Government of Canada opportunities. Others know MERX as a leading tendering service for other Canadian public sector organizations including provincial governments, municipalities, academic institutions and hospitals. MERX Private Tenders, MERX Private Construction and MERX U.S. Tenders are all services provided by MERX to serve the needs of the Canadian Private Sector.

The MERX Private Tenders service is designed to meet the needs of the enterprise procurement professional looking to post complex construction projects or solicit vendors for other goods and services. Through the posting of opportunities on the MERX Private Construction service delivered in conjunction with McGraw-Hill Dodge, contractors and suppliers can find thousands of business opportunities in the Canadian construction market. While on the MERX U.S. Tenders site, companies access U.S. exporting opportunities from tenders posted by the U.S. federal, state and local governments.

MERX Posts Opportunities from the Private Sector

In addition to the Public Sector postings, MERX also posts many Private Sector opportunities on the MERX Private Tenders service. Here users can search for relevant tenders free of charge, and are only required to pay once they find an opportunity they are interested in. There is a $25 fee to gain access to the contact information, and downloading of associated documentation. If clients prefer to have the tender shipped to them, MERX can print the document and have it shipped out within 2 business days at a very competitive price.

For private sector buyers, the MERX Private Tenders service can help decrease costs associated with procurement and help automate the purchasing process. Buyers can post their opportunities “By Invitation” or choose fully open tendering to access the 40,000+ suppliers in the MERX database. Organizations can reach those companies who might be interested in their posted tender with a push of a button. MERX has a secure web-based tool requiring minimal effort to prepare post and amend tender opportunities. Once a tender is posted on MERX, suppliers who have activated their opportunity matching service feature will receive automatic notification of the tender and will have the flexibility to order the tender document in any format; paper, CD, fax, email or download. If amendments are created, the supplier will be notified of the amendment, or if requested the amendment can automatically be sent to them.
