A France-based AI procurement platform is coming to Canadian public markets. Aitenders Technologies Inc. closed its reverse takeover on July 31, 2026, and received conditional approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange to list under the ticker symbol "BIDS," with trading expected to commence during the week of August 3, 2026, concurrent with the filing of its Form 2A Listing Statement.

The resulting issuer was formerly eXeBlock Technology Corporation. The transaction was completed under a share exchange agreement dated December 22, 2025, as amended, per the company's July 31, 2026 news release on Newsfile Corp.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Saint-Étienne, France, Aitenders operates a SaaS platform built around AI-powered workflows for tender response and contract management. The platform is designed to help teams analyze documents, collaborate, and manage procurement workflows. Per the Aitenders investor relations site, the company has achieved over $1.5 million in annual recurring revenue and counts three of the top five largest construction companies in Europe and North America among its enterprise customers. Cemex Ventures recognized Aitenders among its Top 50 ConTech Startups 2026 globally.

The ownership structure strongly favors the incoming private company: existing Aitenders shareholders are retaining approximately 90% of the combined entity, per the July 31, 2026 Newsfile Corp release.

To fund the go-public process, Aitenders completed a non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $2,400,000 at $0.5833 per subscription receipt. Numus Capital Corp. will receive 857,143 common shares of the resulting issuer as a corporate finance fee, per the same release. Market capitalization, total shares outstanding, and cash position following closing were not disclosed in the sources accessed.

Next steps disclosed in the sources: trading under BIDS was expected to begin during the week of August 3, 2026, alongside the Form 2A filing. Investors can monitor the CSE and SEDAR for the listing statement, which will contain the financial disclosure and capital structure detail not available in the closing announcement.
