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 help potential design-build teams assess their interest and capacity, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship steps. The potential project may include airfield improvements; aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition storage; fuel facilities; accommodations; offices and planning facilities; warehouses; a fire hall; multi-purpose buildings; IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure; and related paving and site work. The preliminary estimates include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 4,000 m² of accommodations, a 60,000 m² apron and substantial additional building and asphalt areas. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation, concept development, planning, design and construction. The notice indicates that the total contract value may exceed $5 billion and that the work may be delivered over multiple years. The future procurement is expected to assess northern design and construction experience, comparable facilities experience, integrated design-build capability, key personnel, northern logistics and climate planning, constructability, Indigenous participation and team capability through interviews. Security requirements are expected, and the notice states that security clearances may need to be initiated through sponsorship. There is no guarantee that the contract will proceed, that the RFP will be released, or that clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines. The notice lists Ottawa, Ontario as the tender location, but the actual project site is Iqaluit, Nunavut. It shows a closing date of January 11, 2027, while the description says the formal RFP is projected for Fall 2027, subject to DND approval; these dates should be confirmed in the official notice. The description is also truncated, so important participation, Indigenous-content, security and submission details may be missing. This opportunity potentially matches large, experienced design-build organizations or consortiums with northern and defence-related infrastructure capabilities. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may wish to monitor the future solicitation for subcontracting, teaming or Indigenous-participation opportunities. Do not rely onthis summary when preparing a submission: review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the MERX source link, confirm all dates and requirements, and obtain professional advice where security or teaming arrangements are involved.

Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

This open Expression of Interest (EOI) is from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) for Elders and Elder Helpers who may provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. Potentially relevant applicants include individual Elders, Elder Helpers, or Indigenous organizations connected with First Nation, Métis, or Inuit communities. Applicants would generally need to be recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and teachers as having knowledge of relevant traditional culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. Typical Elder services may include counselling, cultural teachings, healing circles, spiritual services and ceremonies, support for offenders’ healing plans, advice to CSC staff, participation in case conferences, and—when requested and agreed—escorting offenders for ceremonial or spiritual purposes. Elder Helpers may assist with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, protocols, offender supervision, teachings, counselling when directed, and reports or meetings. The notice appears to be seeking expressions of interest rather than issuing a conventional purchase contract immediately. It may allow CSC to identify potential service providers for future work. The listing shows a closing date of January 13, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.; the tender record lists Ottawa, Ontario, but the services concern CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. Before responding, review the complete Statements of Work and the official tender notice for the submission process, required documentation, service locations, security and institutional access requirements, contracting terms, rates, and any additional eligibility or recognition requirements. This summary does not confirm that any particular applicant qualifies, and the official notice should be verified before submitting an expression of interest. Documents provided include the Elders and Elder Helpers Statements of Work on Canada Buys.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is an advance notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for potential construction, consulting, maintenance, and other real-property opportunities at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) is using the notice to inform contractors and consultants about possible future work supporting base operations and housing programs. Potential opportunities may be advertised later through open tenders or RFPs on MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. Some lower-value work may be offered only to businesses listed on specific source lists. The notice identifies an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) and Quick Response Tender lists for commercial general contracting, residential general contracting, and mechanical contracting. Businesses interested in these channels should review the relevant MERX postings and application instructions; a MERX account is reportedly required for the OCSL application. Some projects may involve security requirements, and interested businesses may need to begin a sponsorship or security-clearance process. The notice warns that clearances may not be granted or completed within expected timelines. Certain projects may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. There is no guarantee that any of the potential projects will proceed, and this notice does not itself invite bids. The listed closing date is March 31, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; confirm whether this is an information or source-list deadline in the official notice. The tender data lists Bedford, Nova Scotia, while the notice describes work at 14 Wing Greenwood, so the location and other metadata should also be checked. A business that provides relevant construction, engineering, environmental, maintenance, consulting, or related services may find this notice potentially relevant, but its suitability and any future eligibility requirements cannot be determined from this advance notice alone. Review the complete official MERX notice and any later solicitation carefully before applying or submitting a bid: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3892363401/abstract?language=EN

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) about possible future construction and related service opportunities at CFB Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is not a bid solicitation or RFP, so there is nothing to bid on yet. The notice says upcoming work may be procured through MERX and, if applicable, Canada Buys, with some opportunities potentially tied to an Open Construction Source List (OCSL), source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. The OCSL for 9 Wing Gander is currently open on MERX, and interested contractors are invited to apply using a MERX account. Some future projects may require security clearances, and some may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under PSIB. Because this is only a preliminary notice, a business owner should verify the official MERX notice and any linked documents to confirm scope, security requirements, eligibility rules, timelines, and whether there is a relevant procurement path before preparing anything.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada for upcoming work at 5 CDSB Gagetown in Oromocto, New Brunswick. It is not a current bid request, so it does not ask companies to submit a proposal yet. Instead, it is meant to alert contractors and consultants to possible future opportunities and to let them prepare in advance. The notice suggests future work may be issued through several channels, including open competitive tenders on MERX/Canada Buys, an Open Construction Source List (OCSL), Quick Response Tender source lists, professional services source lists, and standing offer arrangements. It also notes that some future projects may require security clearance, and that some opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. For construction businesses, the most directly relevant items mentioned are the Gagetown and P.E.I. Open Construction Source List and the General Contracting Quick Response Tender source list, both currently open on MERX according to the notice. However, you would need to verify the official notice and source-list instructions before acting, since eligibility, security requirements, timelines, and whether a specific future project proceeds are not guaranteed. The closing date shown is 2027-03-31 13:00:00, but because this is an APN, that date should be checked carefully against the official MERX notice and any linked documents. If you want, I can also help you extract the practical action items from the notice, such as what to look for on MERX and what documents to review first.

Defence Construction Canada - Pacific Region - Victoria, British Columbia

This notice appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada (Pacific Region) for upcoming base program work related to ASU Chilliwack and other DND-related sites in the Lower Mainland and Interior British Columbia. It is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals, so there is no immediate bid to submit yet. The notice is mainly meant to help contractors and consultants prepare for future opportunities, including possible security clearance sponsorship if some projects require it. It looks potentially relevant for businesses in construction and trades, especially electrical, mechanical, and general contracting. The notice says future work may be issued through open tenders/RFPs on MERX and Canada Buys, or through invitation-only source lists such as the Open Construction Source List (OCSL) and Quick Response Tender (QRT) lists. The OCSL for ASU Chilliwack is currently open on MERX, and several QRT source lists for Lower Mainland and Interior BC are also open. The APN also notes that some projects may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB).

Key details to verify in the official notice before taking action: - Whether your business should apply to the relevant source list(s) on MERX - Whether the work needs security clearance or sponsorship - Whether any upcoming opportunity is open competition or invitation-only - Whether a project is reserved for Indigenous businesses - The exact scope, location, and requirements when a real solicitation is issued Closing date shown: 2027-03-31 17:00:00.

Defence Construction Canada - Pacific Region - Victoria, British Columbia

This tender appears relevant to contractors and consultants interested in future work at CFB Esquimalt in Victoria, BC. It is an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada, not a bid solicitation or RFP, so there is nothing to bid on yet. The notice says future opportunities may cover base program work for Real Property Operations Group (RP OPS) and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA), and may include both projects with and without security requirements. Some projects may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under PSIB. The notice says future work could be issued through several mechanisms, including open competitive tenders/RFPs, Open Construction Source List (OCSL), Quick Response Tender (QRT) source lists, source lists for professional services, and standing offers. It specifically mentions that the OCSL and some QRT source lists for CFB Esquimalt are currently open on MERX, and interested firms are invited to apply through MERX. The closing date shown is 2027-03-31 at 5:00 PM, but because this is an APN, the date may relate to the notice rather than an actual bid deadline, so the official notice should be checked carefully. A key point is that the APN warns there is no guarantee the solicitations will proceed, and no guarantee that security clearances will be granted within the expected timelines, or at all. If your business is considering this, verify the official MERX notice and any linked documents to confirm the exact requirements, source list applications, security expectations, and whether any upcoming projects match your capability before taking next steps.

This is an Advance Procurement Notice (APN) from Defence Construction Canada – Pacific Region for potential construction and consulting opportunities connected with 19 Wing, CFB Comox, British Columbia.

However, you should verify all requirements, timing, and eligibility details in the official notice before deciding to bid or requesting the ITQ.
