Please note, to respond to a Government of Canada tender opportunity found on Ariba Discovery, you require an existing, registered account on the SAP Business Network. As we onboard our categories of goods and service to SAP Ariba, postings will be available on both Buy and sell and Ariba Discovery. Through the transition to CanadaBuys, tender opportunities will be posted on Ariba Discovery, the SAP Ariba platform being used by the Government of Canada for procurement.
