Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This tender appears to be a large federal construction opportunity from Defence Construction Canada (DCC) for design-builder services to design and construct multi-unit residential housing for the Canadian Forces Housing Agency. It potentially includes three separate contracts: CFB Gagetown, NB; 14 Wing CFB Greenwood, NS; and CFB Halifax (12 Wing Shearwater), NS.The estimated values are very large: about $295M–$370M for Gagetown, $105M–$131M for Greenwood, and $174M–$218M for Halifax. The notice says proposals are to be submitted through MERX by October 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM, though the description shows earlier date changes, so the official MERX notice should be checked carefully for the current deadline. The work appears relevant for firms that can provide a full design-build team, including roles such as design team lead, architects, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil/municipal engineers, and urban planning support. The solicitation is tied to CFTA, CETA, and WTO-GPA rules, and bidders are warned to send questions only to the listed point of contact. For a Canadian business owner, this looks like a major opportunity if your company is part of a larger design-build consortium or prime team with experience in multi-unit housing and federal projects. However, you should verify the official MERX tender notice, all amendments, eligibility requirements, security or bonding needs, and submission instructions before deciding whether to bid.
