A publisher approves tender and awards notices to be published or cancelled on CanadaBuys. They have access to the Publisher dashboard, where they’ll see all notices that are ready for review, published or cancelled.

Someone with a dual role can complete the tasks of both an author and publisher. They have access to both the Author and Publisher dashboards.

Reassigning notices

To reassign a tender or award notice, its author or contracting authority must contact the CanadaBuys Service Desk and provide:

the notice’s title and solicitation number
the name and email of the author it should be reassigned to

Note: Submit reassignment requests at least 3 business days ahead of time to allow the Service Desk time for processing. If it needs to be done sooner, mark your request as “urgent.”
