SEAO - Système électronique d’appel d’offres

SEAO (Système électronique d'appel d'offres) is an electronic platform operated by the Government of Quebec that centralizes public procurement notices and contracts. It serves as a vital infrastructure for transparent public procurement in Quebec's public sector.

The platform aggregates tender notices from various government entities, allowing public organizations to publish their notices and distribute related documents. SEAO also provides information on awarded contracts and manages vendor subscriptions and billing for document access. It is mandatory for government ministries, health and social services, educational institutions, and municipalities to use SEAO for publishing public calls for tenders. Optional users include state-owned enterprises, non-profits, and private companies. Interested businesses can register to access published notices and obtain necessary documents through the platform.
