EW038-270709 - Northern Innovation Centre Conceptual Design Study – RFP
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open PSPC request for proposals for a conceptual design study for a new approximately 1,277 m² multi-use modular facility at the Inuvik Satellite Station Facility in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The work would support NRCan and would likely require an architectural firm as the prime consultant, supported by a multidisciplinary team of sub-consultants. The study is expected to examine modular construction versus conventional northern construction, develop pre-design and functional programming, prepare conceptual schematic options, and produce a Class C cost estimate. The results will help determine the project’s future viability and support early project approval. The scope described is limited to NRCan’s program requirements; future stakeholder participation or expansion would be addressed separately. The tender is listed as closing October 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice states that late submissions will not be accepted. The location field also lists Gatineau, Quebec, while the project description identifies Inuvik, Northwest Territories; this discrepancy should be clarified in the official documents. This opportunity may be relevant to architectural firms with experience leading multidisciplinary teams, conceptual and schematic design, functional programming, cost estimating, modular buildings, and projects in northern or remote environments. The available information does not confirm the complete eligibility, experience, licensing, Indigenous participation, security, insurance, submission-format, or evaluation requirements, so these should be reviewed carefully before deciding whether to bid. Review the complete Terms of Reference and official tender notice through the Government of Canada’s procurement source before submitting. Confirm the closing time, project location, mandatory requirements, required forms, submission process, and any amendments.Official source: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110024974?an Id=ANONYMOUS
