Defence Construction Canada - Pacific Region - Victoria, British Columbia
**Tender overview:** Defence Construction Canada (Pacific Region) has published an Advance Procurement Notice for potential construction, consulting, and related service opportunities at CFB Esquimalt near Victoria, British Columbia, during the 2026/2027 base program. **Important:** This is **not a bid solicitation or request for proposals**. It is an early notice intended to help contractors and consultants assess their interest and prepare for possible future procurements. Projects may not proceed and would be issued later through separate tenders, requests for proposals, source lists, standing offers, or other procurement methods. Potential opportunities may involve work for the Real Property Operations Group and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency. Some projects may include security requirements, and certain projects may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). DCC identifies several possible procurement routes: - Open competitive tenders or RFPs advertised through MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. - The Open Construction Source List (OCSL), currently identified as **PR26SLPE** on MERX. - Quick Response Tender source lists, including **ES26SL01** for general contractor services and **ES25SLCC** for civil construction. - Other source lists, standing offers, and standing offer agreements for construction, professional, environmental, architectural, engineering, or related services. Interested businesses may wish to review the related MERX document for the anticipated project list and timing. A MERX account is required to apply to the identified source lists. Where security screening is relevant, businesses may need to begin the applicable sponsorship or clearance process; however, clearance is not guaranteed and may not be completed within the expected timelines. The notice is listed as open and shows a closing date of **March 31, 2027 at 5:00 p.m.** Theofficial notice is available through MERX: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3903934113/abstract?language=EN This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian contractors and consultants with suitable construction, infrastructure, professional-service, or security-screening capabilities, but the notice alone does not establish eligibility or guarantee future work. Verify the complete official MERX notice, attachments, source-list requirements, security conditions, Indigenous-business provisions, and any later solicitation before taking action or submitting a bid.
