General consulting experience alone may not be sufficient, and the tender should not be assumed to be a match without reviewing the technical, security, personnel, financial, and other requirements.Buyer: Department of National Defence Status: Open Closing date: October 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Ottawa time Location: Ottawa, Ontario / Canada The tender package includes the main RFP, technical submission response forms, and at least two amendments.
