Sidona vs other ways to find government work
Most tools either send you a list of titles or host a board. Sidona is the workspace in the middle: one feed of official notices, the documents read for you, and a clear sense of what fits your company.

Alert tools send a title. Boards host a notice. Sidona opens the file.
Talk to the Tender
Ask a 400-page RFP for closing date, mandatory requirements, and insurance — answers come back with page citations. Digest tools stop at the subject line.
SIDONARequest for Proposal — Managed Cloud and Cybersecurity Services
Description
PSPC requires a qualified supplier to provide managed IT services, including cloud operations, SOC monitoring, and incident response across classified and unclassified environments. Mandatory: SOC 2 Type II, Canadian data residency, and secret clearance for key personnel.
Match to your company
After a short profile, new tenders are scored against what you actually do — capabilities, regions, certifications. Not another keyword alert that misses “cloud modernization.”

Vs email alerts and digests
Alert tools are useful if you only want a daily list of new titles. They rarely open the 400-page package with you. Sidona is for the next step: ask the RFP questions, see mandatory requirements, and decide bid or no-bid.
Vs typical tender boards
Boards and official portals are where notices live and where you submit. Sidona indexes those sources and adds reading and matching. We do not replace CanadaBuys or a provincial board.
Vs checking every website yourself
Doing it by hand is complete for each site you remember to open — and easy to miss an addendum. Sidona watches the official boards on a 12-hour cycle so you are not logging into a dozen places every morning.
