Procure-to-pay · Canada

Procurement software Canada didn't have to import.

One system, requisition to payment. Contract A / Contract B aware, with NWPTA and CFTA thresholds built in — defensible for a municipality, fast for a growing company.

The whole system costs less than the salary of one junior buyer.

Not a claim — the live setting

Not a currency symbol. The whole Canadian rulebook.

This is the actual settings screen, not marketing copy. Applying the Canada profile sets CAD, your province's own GST, HST, PST or QST stack, and the NWPTA / CFTA threshold matrix — the moment your instance goes live.

  • Currency, tax and thresholds set to Canada the moment your instance goes live
  • NWPTA and CFTA thresholds, plus the Canada–Korea federal services floor, loaded by procurement type and entity — municipal, MASH, provincial, federal
  • Switch regions from this same screen if you ever need to — nothing else to configure

Defensible procurement, from posting to payment.

For municipalities, MASH bodies, provincial and federal buyers, Crown corporations and Indigenous economic-development corporations — where fairness has to be provable, not just intended.

  • Trade-agreement thresholds built in — NWPTA and CFTA floors, plus the Canada–Korea federal services floor, assessed on every requisition; CETA and CPTPP floors built on request
  • Contract A / Contract B fairness — sealed bids, committee scoring blind to price, minimum-score gates
  • Mandatory posting periods and standstill enforced by the system, not left to a checklist
  • Debrief letters, assessment summaries and an audit binder — the defensible record when an award is challenged
  • Conflict-of-interest gates, delegation of authority and segregation of duties throughout
  • Hosted in Canada today; where procurement data must stay in another country, a dedicated instance there is stood up when you sign

Methodology PlaybookEvery Canadian route — Contract A doctrine and all.
The proof, not the promise

The floor that applies — province by province.

Mandatory open-tender thresholds · current to 2026–2027
CFTA NWPTA (west) Annex 519.1 (north) Federal A $12,000 goods purchase is exempt in Ontario — and a covered tender in British Columbia. Atlas applies the lowest trade-agreement floor automatically. In Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, whose own rules differ, it applies an interim floor until your figures are set at onboarding — each row says what the local rules require.
Supplier reach · the best of both worlds

You don’t need a private supplier network. The public portal already is one.

Suppliers already watch the public portal for their region. You post the mandatory notice there for reach, it points bidders to Atlas, and Atlas runs the competition itself — so a private vendor network buys you nothing.

1

Post the notice once

Advertised where your jurisdiction requires — BC Bid, CanadaBuys, SEAO. In BC, one BC Bid post auto-forwards to CanadaBuys, so a single notice meets both provincial and federal obligations.

2

Send bidders to Atlas

The notice points suppliers to Atlas — register, download docs, ask questions, submit. Free to browse the portal, free to bid in Atlas.

3

Run it all in Atlas

Sealed bids, blind scoring, standstill, debrief, audit binder — then award, contract, PO, receipt, invoice, payment. One system, requisition to payment.

Supplier cost · the win-win

Free for every supplier to bid — and Atlas keeps it that way.

Suppliers see the opportunity free, then bid in Atlas free. Here’s what the paid tender platforms charge a supplier just to submit:

What a supplier pays to submit a bidFees below are the vendors’ own published figures · Aug 2026
  • AtlasFree — always
  • CanadaBuys (federal portal)Free
  • BC BidBrowsing free · $150/yr e-Bidding subscription to submit electronically
  • bids&tendersBrowsing free · ~$170/yr or ~$45/bid to submit
  • MERX~$15/mo subscription + a per-bid electronic-submission fee
  • SAP AribaFree until 5 docs & US$50k with a buyer, then subscription + 0.155–0.35% of volume

Coupa and Euna/Bonfire don’t charge suppliers either — but only Atlas does it while enforcing your jurisdiction’s procurement rulebook end to end.

The same purchase, two provinces, two flows.

A ministry needs $20,000 of equipment. Nothing about the request changes — the province does, and so does what Atlas allows next.

British ColumbiaNWPTA
Goods$10,000
Services$75,000
Construction$100,000
Open tender required

$20,000 is over BC’s $10,000 goods floor, so Atlas routes it into an open competition — a direct purchase order is blocked.

OntarioCFTA
Goods$34,700
Services$139,000
Construction$139,000
Direct award permitted

The same $20,000 is under Ontario’s $34,700 goods floor. Atlas won’t invent a tender the law doesn’t require — the buyer places it directly.

One requisition. Atlas reads the jurisdiction, entity tier and category, finds the governing floor, and routes the flow — a competition in one province, a direct order in the other, each defensible.

Sourcing pipeline
Sourcing & EvaluationRFQ to sealed tender, with committee scoring.
The whole event, in one place

Run the tender, keep the record.

From an informal RFQ to a formal sealed-bid RFT — invitations, clarifications, amendments, sealed submissions, committee evaluation and award — all captured for the file.

  • Sealed bids stay hidden until formally opened by a named person
  • Committees score quality blind to price; the price score is automatic
  • Mandatory pass/fail requirements and minimum scores enforced, not advisory
  • Every question, addendum and score kept for the audit binder

Spend under control, suppliers under management.

For Canadian companies that want real procurement discipline — the visibility and control a CFO expects — without a six-figure enterprise suite or a year-long implementation.

  • See and cut off-process spend — drive more of it under contract, on real numbers
  • Approvals and delegation matched to your own authority matrix
  • Supplier 360 with risk and performance, and hard gates that block the wrong vendor
  • Contract lifecycle with renewal alerts; standing arrangements for repeat buys
  • Connects to your accounting system — eleven systems — QuickBooks Online, Xero, Business Central and Sage Accounting proven against live ledgers; NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Sage X3, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion and BILL built, each proven on your own ledger at onboarding; older ledgers pull a feed
  • Construction — provincial prompt-payment clocks and statutory holdback for the owner tier
  • Live in days to weeks, not a year — hosted and running before a suite would finish scoping

Know who you're paying

Suppliers managed, not just listed.

A full supplier record with risk and performance, lifecycle gates, and control over the details that get abused — so a purchase never reaches a supplier it shouldn't.

  • Lifecycle status blocks awards to suspended, on-hold or debarred suppliers
  • Controlled bank-detail changes — the most abused field in procurement, locked down
  • A supplier portal where they register, quote, receive POs, submit invoices and get paid — and keep their own documents and bank details current
  • Certifications and documents chased automatically before they lapse
  • Diverse and local-supplier spend tracked, for the reports that increasingly matter
The gap it fills

Everything the current tools make you stitch together.

Canadian procurement teams end up running the cycle across a tender portal, spreadsheets, email and their finance system. Atlas is the one place it all lives — for both sectors.

Tender-posting portals get your RFP online — then leave evaluation, contracts, POs and invoices to spreadsheets and email.
Atlas runs the whole cycle — posting, evaluation, award, contract, PO, receipt, invoice and payment, in one auditable flow.
Sourcing-only tools stop at award. What happens after — the contract, the spend, the three-way match — is on you.
Atlas carries through to payment, with a three-way match and the journal your finance team actually needs.
Most tools were built for the public sector or the private sector — never both.
One system serves both. Turn trade-agreement compliance on for a public body, or run it lean for a company.
Enterprise suites can do it all — for six figures a year and a twelve-month implementation.
A fraction of the cost and time. Configured, hosted in Canada and live in days to weeks.
Products hosted abroad can't answer a public body that needs procurement data to stay in-country.
Hosted in Canada. Workspace data is hosted in Toronto, and we name every provider that handles it.
Generic workflow tools get bent to fit procurement, missing Contract A, trade agreements and UNSPSC.
Procurement-native. Contract A doctrine, the trade-agreement matrix and UNSPSC are built in, not bolted on.
Contracts & finance

From award to payment, without a handover.

The contract, its milestones and its executed value flow straight through to your finance system — no re-keying, no manual handoff between procurement and AP.

  • E-signature, milestones, obligations and retention held, all in the record
  • Standing arrangements let buyers call off agreed prices without re-tendering
  • Coded bills post to all eleven connected ledgers; journals to QuickBooks Online, Xero, Business Central, Sage, Sage Intacct and NetSuite — SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Fusion journals built on request
  • Renewal and expiry alerts surface before anything lapses
