Bids and Tenders

The Municipality of Lakeshore has transitioned to Bids & Tenders for all procurement requirements. Bid documents will only be available to those registered with Bids and Tenders. Registration is required to submit a bid to the Municipality of Lakeshore. A non-registered submission will be considered to be non-compliant with Lakeshore's procurement requirements and will not be considered by the municipality.

How does Bids and Tenders work?

It's simple: create your profile, choose your payment option, start bidding!  

Bids & Tenders

What does this mean for your business?

You can subscribe to bids & tenders to receive notices about bids and respond to Municipality of Lakeshore's bid opportunities. You also get access to all North American bids on the bids & tenders platform, not just ours.

Cooperative Purchasing

Buy Ontario Directive Compliance

The Municipality acknowledges the Province of Ontario’s Buy Ontario Directive and confirms that it is subject to its requirements.

The Municipality is committed to ensuring its procurement practices align with the Directive by:

• Incorporating applicable domestic content and preference requirements into its procurement processes where required
• Continuing to maintain fair, open, and transparent competitive bidding procedures
• Where appropriate, preference will be given to Ontario suppliers and goods in accordance with the Directive, while also considering Canadian suppliers and ensuring value for money, accountability, and non-discrimination

This approach supports Ontario's economy while remaining consistent with broader Canadian trade obligations and procurement best practices.
