How to find and win government tenders in Regina (2026)
Where the City of Regina posts construction tenders — on SaskTenders, with bids submitted by email — plus its 20% Indigenous procurement target and the provincial and federal layers Regina contractors should watch.
By Joseph Morrison · Founder, Cornerstone Contracts
Regina keeps its tendering simple in one respect: the City posts on the same provincial portal as the rest of Saskatchewan, so there's no separate City system to learn. What trips contractors up is the submission mechanics and a few City-specific policies. Here's how Regina public construction work gets posted and how to win it.
Where Regina posts its tenders
The City of Regina advertises its bid opportunities — tenders, RFPs, RFQs, and supplier-qualification calls — on SaskTenders, the Government of Saskatchewan's official provincial portal. There is no separate City of Regina bidding portal; SaskTenders is the place to find City work.
You register a free SaskTenders account to download the competition documents, then follow each solicitation's submission instructions — for many City solicitations, that means submitting by email before the stated deadline. The City does not accept late submissions, so confirm yours is received before the close.
Two further streams matter:
- Provincial work — Saskatchewan ministries, Crown corporations, and the health and education sectors — also posts on SaskTenders.
- Federal work in the Regina region posts on CanadaBuys.
Who's buying
Regina's largest construction and infrastructure procurement comes from roads and transportation and the water utility — water, wastewater, and drainage — which together carry most of the City's capital construction program. Facilities, and the police and fire services, add further capital work. Saskatchewan ministries and the health and education sectors make up the institutional layer.
How to register and bid
- Register a free account on SaskTenders and set up alerts so Regina opportunities reach you.
- Read each solicitation's submission method carefully — confirm whether it's email or another channel, and the exact deadline. Late bids are rejected.
- The City uses CCDC contract forms with its own supplementary conditions, and runs supplier-qualification calls (RFSQs) that put approved firms on a roster for future work — worth watching if you want a standing path to smaller City contracts.
- Regina runs a vendor performance evaluation on its projects, so a clean, well-documented job is an investment in your next bid.
What it takes to win
- Prequalification first. Have COR safety certification, WCB standing, insurance, and bonding ready before a "required" tender is closing — our Saskatchewan COR and prequalification guide covers the full checklist.
- Indigenous procurement. Regina's 2023 policy targets 20% of procurement value to Indigenous-owned businesses — if you're Indigenous-owned or can partner credibly, understand how that's applied to the work you bid.
- A complete, responsive submission wins more often than the lowest rushed one. See our guide to winning Canadian construction tenders and how the Saskatchewan boards fit together.
