warre & vavasour is a full-service AI lab for Canadian trades and suppliers. We train your people on AI, find the public work, read the tender package, and build the business plan around the project with you. Then we install the tools in your office and keep them running every month.
I
Billions in development, investment and infrastructure are about to be deployed across Canada. Budget 2026, tabled on November 5, is titled Masters of our destiny. It funds energy, roads, water, housing and defence, and most of that money reaches the ground as public contracts.
Budget 2026, Annex 1 and chapters 1, 2 and 4. Projections, not outcomes. Every measure, mapped and cited →
II
Tens of billions of dollars will move through CanadaBuys and Alberta Purchasing Connection. Seeing a posting is the easy part. Winning it and delivering it is everything that comes after, and that is what we build for.
Read
Tender documents open in a sealed, temporary sandbox. Every section is sorted and every mandatory requirement comes back with the page it came from: bonding, insurance, safety certification, how to submit.
Decide
What fits your crew, what doesn't, what the documents leave unanswered, and the one thing to do before closing. Conflicting dates or missing facts are flagged for a person, never guessed.
Plan
Each bid becomes a saved project: tasks, dependencies, acceptance criteria, blockers and missing facts. Stop on Friday, pick it up on Monday, and it knows where you left off.
Partner
The plan shows which parts of the job need someone else, so you can bring in the shop down the road before you price, not after you win.
Propose
Drafts are checked against the tender and your company's real facts. Nothing goes out until you approve it. We never submit a bid or contact a buyer for you.
Deliver
After the award, the same desk keeps the paperwork, schedule and new tools moving, so more of your people are building instead of filling in forms.
III
AI promised five times the productivity. Most small businesses got a chatbot that writes mediocre marketing copy. We don't build chatbots.
We install a working terminal in your office: a dedicated machine running our own harness, Cohere's Command A+ reasoning model and the custom MCP servers we built and run. It reads, plans and keeps track. When you need a new tool, we build it and add it. We support it over a private connection you control, like a family doctor for the work.
Get half the workforce ten percent better, every year. That is generational growth.
IV
We don’t replace people or build chatbots. Don’t ask. If your plan starts with headcount cuts, it isn’t our plan. We help you capture a bigger piece of a growing pie.
You are not using our tools to compete against other Canadians for these contracts. You are using them to win work and bring others in on it.
Whatever you work on, find 20% of that contract and hire your neighbours and community.
From a real brief A Sylvan Lake street job came back “caution, worth pursuing” for a civil and concrete contractor: curb, sidewalk, storm and paving fit. Electrical and soil cells need subcontractors. That is the 20%: work for the electrician and the landscaper in the next town.
Collaboration, not competition, is how companies are going to navigate the opportunities ahead.

02Where your information goes
Search, deadlines and briefs run on Google Cloud in Montréal and need no AI model. Tender documents you open with Pro go to a temporary E2B sandbox and to Cohere, a Canadian model company, which turns them into text and reviews them; both may process outside Canada. On an AI Terminal, your files and projects are stored on the device in your office, and leave it only as text a tool sends to a model provider you agreed to.
Some services we rely on, including hosting, payments, sign-in and analytics, may process information outside Canada, including in the United States. We name each one, say which are optional, and keep what works today separate from what we are still working toward.

Search CanadaBuys and Alberta Purchasing Connection together.
get_opportunity_details
Inspect one federal or Alberta posting by reference number.
list_deadlines
Find public opportunities that are closing soon.
find_matching_opportunities
Rank live work against a business description and capabilities.
daily_bid_brief
Build a short owner/operator brief from current opportunities.
These tools can search and explain; they cannot bid, buy, submit, or change anything. Always verify the original tender posting.
