This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for large-scale facilities maintenance and support services in Northern Canada. It is not currently a bid solicitation or request for proposals, and there is no guarantee that the planned contracts will proceed.
The potential work would cover approximately 100 buildings and related infrastructure, including roads, parking areas, utilities and landscaped areas in:
-Manitoba: Churchill
-Northwest Territories: Inuvik and Yellowknife
-Yukon: Whitehorse
-Nunavut: Eureka, Resolute Bay, Gascoyne Inlet, Nanisivik Naval Facility, Rankin Inlet and Iqaluit
Services may include building and equipment maintenance, HVAC and refrigeration, electrical, plumbing, fire and life-safety systems, generators, security systems, janitorial work, pest control, landscaping, snow and ice removal, waste and environmental services, utility billing support, help desk operations, emergency response and maintenance program management. Additional work could be handled through an Additional Work Request process.
DCC anticipates two possible contracts:
- Manitoba,Northwest Territories and Yukon: estimated potential value of approximately $240 million
-Nunavut: estimated potential value of approximately $225 million
Each contract is anticipated to run for five years, with two possible three-year extensions, for a potential maximum duration of 11 years. Solicitations are tentatively expected in winter 2026–2027, with service commencement anticipated in winter 2028, subject to project approval. The notice currently shows a closing date of November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time; confirm what this deadline applies to in the official notice because this is an advance notice rather than a bid call.
Security requirements are expected to include a Facility Security Clearance at the Secret level. Businesses that may wish to bid later and do not already hold the required clearance are encouraged to review DCC’s Industrial Security Program sponsorship process. Clearance sponsorship does not guarantee that clearance will be granted or that a future contract will be issued.
The notice also highlights potential subcontracting, employment and training opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities. A company considering this opportunity should assess its ability to deliver work across remote northern locations, manage subcontractors and emergency response, meet security requirements, and support the full range of technical and soft services—or identify suitable partners.
This opportunity potentially matches businesses with significant multi-site facilities-management capacity, northern logistics experience and the ability to meet federal security requirements.
