In this article, we are going to discuss the Public and Private Construction opportunities on Merx, and how to find the right one for your business.
Difference Between Public and Private Construction on Merx
Merx is a Canadian electronic tendering service that provides information on various public and private sector construction opportunities. The primary difference between public and private construction on Merx revolves around who the client is, and the level of transparency and regulatory requirements involved.
Public construction refers to projects commissioned by governmental entities, be it federal, provincial, or even Crown Corporations. These projects often have stringent regulations, procurement policies, and oversight to ensure transparency, fairness, and the best value for taxpayers. They are generally funded by public money (or self-funds for Crown) and might include infrastructure projects like roads, schools, or hospitals.
Private construction, on the other hand, pertains to projects commissioned by private sector entities or individuals. These might include residential developments, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities. While private projects still need to adhere to local building codes and regulations, they typically don't have the same level of public scrutiny or procurement regulations as public projects.
On Merx, both types of opportunities are listed, enabling businesses to bid on a diverse range of projects.
