Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Nunavut Territory *Iqaluit, *Nunavut Territory, Edmonton, AB
PSPC is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from interested Registered Inuit Firms that may be able to provide leased office space in Iqaluit, Nunavut. This is an information-gathering opportunity for a potential future lease, not necessarily a final request for bids. The potential lease would be approximately 10 years, beginning around September 1, 2030, with an early-termination right on or after September 1, 2038, subject to at least 12 months’ written notice. PSPC may also have a three-year extension option. The space requirements appear to include: - Approximately 377 usable square metres of contiguous office space; - Approximately 2.0 square metres of rooftop space; - One energized parking space; - A dedicated telecommunications/equipment room of at least 20.3 square metres, which would be included in rentable-area calculations but not the stated usable-area figure; - Availability approximately 69 weeks before the expected lease start date for preparation and fit-up; - Location in the city of Iqaluit; - Main-floor office or commercial space, preferably with visible storefront exposure, a main-road location, and direct pedestrian access; - Accessibility for persons with disabilities; - Space for bicycle racks; - Cleaning services during business hours; and - Compliance with PSPC’s Standards for Leased Accommodation by the lease commencement date. Industrial buildings or buildings containing industrial space will not be considered. PSPC may inspect proposed premises and may conduct a threat and risk assessment. The stated closing date is September 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The tender record lists Nunavut/Iqaluit and Edmonton, Alberta in its location information, but the description specifically requires the proposed premises to be in Iqaluit. The area units and some translated text appear unclear in the notice, so they should be confirmed. A business with suitable Iqaluit commercial space and the required Registered Inuit Firm status may find this EOI potentially relevant, but the notice does not establish that any particular business qualifies. Review the complete official notice and obtain the referenced accommodation standards and submission instructions before responding.Official document: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/100023/20260706-eoi-ad-en-in-81003425.pdf
