MARCAN is an initiative of federal, provincial and territorial governments under the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). Established in 2001, MARCAN provides links to websites that may publish tender notices for procurement opportunities within the Canadian public sector. MARCAN also provides information on the rules for public sector procurement that governments have committed to under the AIT, general complaint procedures and procurement contact information as well as statistics on government procurement reported by governments. MARCAN is managed by the Internal Trade Secretariat.
