Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *National Capital Region (NCR), Gatineau, Québec

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is seeking expressions of interest—not formal bids—for warehouse and office space that could be offered through a lease-purchase project in Ottawa or Gatineau, within the National Capital Region. This opportunity may be relevant to property owners, developers, or businesses able to provide suitable warehouse and office facilities. The notice is listed as open, with a closing time of December 18, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The tender record identifies Gatineau, Quebec, although the title refers to both Ottawa and Gatineau. The description directs respondents to the attached PDF documents for the requirements and submission instructions. A Revision 1 dated October 5, 2026 reportedly corrects a link in Section G, so respondents should use the latest version and review all attachments carefully. An expression of interest does not necessarily mean PSPC will award a contract or proceed with a lease-purchase arrangement. Interested businesses should verify the space requirements, eligibility conditions, response format, deadlines, and any location or building specifications in the official tender documents before submitting.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not a request for proposals yet. Defence Construction Canada is signalling a very large upcoming opportunity related to NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure at Deployed Operating Base Goose Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. The notice says the future contract may exceed $5B and would use a Modified Design-Build delivery model, covering phases such as requirements validation, design, and construction. The scope described includes major airfield and base infrastructure work such as hangars, aprons, taxiways, runway rehabilitation, fuel and ammunition facilities, accommodations, warehousing, IT/cyber/logistics infrastructure, roads, and fire hall facilities. Security requirements will apply, and the notice suggests interested design-builders may need to start sponsorship/security clearance steps, but it also states there is no guarantee the contract will proceed or that clearances will be granted. From a Canadian business perspective, this potentially matches firms with experience in large-scale northern design-build construction, airport/airfield works, military or secure facilities, and teams that can manage both design and construction together. Indigenous participation, logistics, climate, and constructability in northern environments are expected to matter in the eventual RFP.Important: the official notice should be verified carefully on MERX before making any bid decisions, because this is only a preliminary notice and the final RFP details, evaluation criteria, and timelines may change.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice—not a request for proposals—for a potential major infrastructure contract at the Canadian Armed Forces’ Forward Operating Location in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Defence Construction Canada issued it to give potential design-build teams time to assess their interest, plan, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship process. The potential project could include airfield upgrades, aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways, ammunition storage, fuel facilities, accommodations, offices, warehouses, a fire hall, multipurpose buildings, IT/cyber infrastructure, and logistics facilities. Preliminary quantities include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 60,000 m² of apron, and other large building and paving areas. These figures may change. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation and planning, design, and construction.

The opportunity appears aimed primarily at a large, integrated design-builder or consortium with substantial experience in northern construction, comparable infrastructure, logistics, climate-related challenges, and Indigenous participation.

The notice says the potential RFP is projected for fall 2027, subject to DND approval. The record lists a closing date of January 11, 2027, at 2:00 p.m., but because this is an advance notice and the stated RFP timing is later, the dates and any response requirements should be confirmed carefully in the official notice.

The work may include traditional teachings, counselling, ceremonies, healing support, cultural guidance, participation in case conferences, and support for escorted temporary absences.

The EOI is listed as open and closes January 13, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. The listing shows Canada/Ottawa, Ontario, but the services described are for CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. This appears to be an invitation for interested Elders and Elder Helpers to contact CSC, rather than a standard competitive tender with a stated purchase price or guaranteed contract. The provided listing does not include a contact name or email, so those details should be confirmed in the official notice. Review the official statement-of-work documents before responding: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/84482/elder-helper-sow-eng.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/84482/elders-sow-en-2020-02-03.pdf.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada *United States of America, Gatineau, Quebec

This appears to be an open PSPC/DND request for a supply arrangement for a contractor to deliver alpine military mobility training in Canada for up to 14 soldiers. The contractor would be expected to provide suitable training facilities, instructors and equipment for activities involving skis, snowmobiles, motorcycles and other transportation methods in mountainous, austere and changing weather conditions. Some training may involve live weapons firing at the contractor’s facilities, so specialized safety, range and operational capabilities may be required.The opportunity has two streams: one for Indigenous Business Offerors and one for non-Indigenous Business Offerors. Businesses with relevant outdoor, military, tactical, adventure-training, equipment-rental or range-management capabilities may find the requirement potentially relevant, but the tender documents would determine the actual eligibility, certifications, insurance, security, facility and experience requirements. The listed closing date is January 14, 2027. However, the amendment states that the authoritative submission deadline is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date, and that submissions after this time will be declared non-responsive. It specifically says to disregard the response deadlines shown in Ariba Discovery and on the Buyandsell posting. The location information references Canada, the United States of America and Gatineau, Quebec, which should be clarified in the official documents. This summary is not a determination that your business qualifies. Review the complete official tender notice and all amendments, confirm the applicable stream and submission process, and verify every deadline and requirement before submitting a bid.Official source: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/18478332?an Id=ANONYMOUS

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an advance notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for a major infrastructure project at CFB Halifax, near Bedford, Nova Scotia. Defence Construction Canada’s Atlantic Region anticipates a future Construction Management contract, identified as HX26CPSP, with an estimated value of approximately $5 billion to $10 billion. The anticipated posting date is January 2027, and the notice currently shows a closing date of January 14, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; these details should be confirmed in the official notice.

Businesses interested in monitoring this opportunity should review the official MERX notice and DCC security requirements, assess their capacity for a very large, complex, security-sensitive construction management project, and begin any security-clearance steps only after confirming the process and requirements directly with DCC.
