Architecture concept · illustrative background

Permit lead

Prospecting signal

A municipal permit is evidence that work has been approved or is active. It is not a contract award and does not guarantee that work is available.

  • Useful before every subcontractor is selected
  • Organized by address, scope and trade fit
  • Outreach is contractor-led

Tender / solicitation

Formal bid opportunity

A public buyer has published requirements, documents, a closing time and a defined process for suppliers to respond.

  • Official buyer and solicitation number
  • Fixed submission instructions and deadline
  • Response goes through the named portal

Live tender access

Actual public opportunities, from the official issuer.

These feeds open the current source records—not copied summaries. Confirm the latest addenda, eligibility rules and closing time on the official posting before bidding.

Permit leads and public tenders stay separate. A permit is an early project signal; a tender is a formal request for bids.

Official source directory

Start with the authoritative posting.

We prioritize public owner sources. Always confirm amendments, eligibility and closing times on the original posting before preparing a bid.

Before you bid

Five details that decide whether it fits.

  1. Buyer and project owner

    Confirm who issued the opportunity and who controls the work.

  2. Scope and mandatory requirements

    Read the full documents, addenda, insurance and qualification rules.

  3. Work location

    Check Toronto/GTA location, site access and service-area fit.

  4. Question and closing deadlines

    Record both dates and allow time for portal registration.

  5. Official submission route

    Submit only through the portal named in the solicitation.

Build a wider pipeline

Use permits for early outreach. Use tenders for formal bids.

A Toronto Permit Leads membership gives your business the current searchable permit report. The official source directory remains open for every contractor.
