Verifiable supplier credentials
Relay turns Canada’s public procurement record into a tamper-resistant digital credential: proof that a company appears as a supplier in Canada’s public Government of Canada procurement record, as of a stated date — confirmable by anyone in a single click or scan. No phone calls, no PSPC paperwork.
Signed · verifiable · never a false “verified.”
Illustrative example
Appears as a supplier in Canada’s public Government of Canada procurement record.
The problem
Every federal contract, standing offer, and supply arrangement over $10,000 is published in Canada’s open procurement data. But vendor names are free-text and inconsistent — “Acme Corp,” “Acme Corporation,” “ACME CORP. INC.” — with no clean identifier across records. So today there’s no simple, trustworthy way for a company to prove it’s a GC supplier, or for a buyer, partner, or platform to check. Relay does the hard part: it resolves a company to its real supplier footprint in that public data, with a confidence score, and turns the result into a credential.
How it works
Relay matches a company against the federal Proactive Publication of Contracts data and finds its supplier footprint — with a confidence score, not a guess.
It mints a signed W3C Verifiable Credential 2.0 carrying the exact records and the as-of date the claim is based on — or an honest “no credential” when nothing clears the bar.
Anyone clicks the link or scans the QR and sees a live, cryptographically-verified result — never a stale image, never a false “verified.”
The line we will not cross
A Relay credential attests that an entity appears as a supplier in public Government of Canada procurement records, as of a stated date, verified by Securim as issuer-of-record.
It is not a Government of Canada endorsement, and it does not say any government body vouches for the supplier. Every credential shows its provenance — which dataset, which records, which date — so a verifier sees exactly what was checked. We state that plainly rather than implying authority we don’t have.
