Bid-readiness audit for Alberta contractors — WCB, COR, bonding, insurance, and vendor portals. Written report in 72 hours. Flat fee from $1,500.
What is a bid-readiness audit?
A bid-readiness audit is a flat-fee review of your company against the compliance requirements that actually appear on Alberta municipal RFPs and ITTs. We check WCB clearance, insurance limits and additional-insured wording, COR or SECOR status through ACSA, bonding capacity and CCDC form language, vendor portal profiles, and document readiness. You receive a written report with a prioritized fix list in 72 hours, plus a 45-minute walkthrough.
What the audit covers
- Mandatory requirements vs evaluated criteria on typical municipal forms
- WCB Alberta clearance letters, insurance certificates, and surety language
- COR requirements for municipal tenders and the ACSA pathway if you are not certified
- City of Calgary vendor registration, City of Edmonton supplier registration, Alberta Purchasing Connection, MERX, and Biddingo
- Reference and past-performance documentation gaps
How this differs from alerts or RFP writing
National alert subscriptions (for example TenderBridge at about $49.99/month) tell you a tender exists. Alberta RFP writing shops such as Innova Essential (innovaessential.ca) can polish scored narrative. Neither product is a municipal compliance audit. If you fail the compliance screen, price and writing never get read. The audit is the first paid step; monitoring and per-bid support come after.
