National Research Council of Canada (NRC) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) appears to be seeking proposals for two benchtop multiple-reactor systems under solicitation 26-58202. The equipment would support high-throughput hydrometallurgical research, including automated sampling, real-time process monitoring, crystallization analysis, turbidity and solubility measurements, and nucleation-time monitoring. Key details: -Buyer: National Research Council of Canada, Clean Energy Innovation Research Center -Procurement type: Open Request for Proposal (RFP) -Location: Ottawa, Ontario; delivery is indicated as Canada or applicable provinces/territories -Closing deadline: November 24, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST -Expected delivery: Within 8 weeks after contract award -Award basis: Lowest evaluated price among bids that meet all mandatory requirements -Submission method: Email to NRC.Bid Receiving-Receptiondes [email protected] -Submission language: English or French -Trade coverage: The notice lists multiple Canadian and international trade agreements.

Suppliers would need to review the RFP for the precise technical specifications, mandatory criteria, pricing format, delivery requirements, and any testing or installation obligations. The notice states that eligibility is subject to Canada’s Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, meaning suppliers generally must be Canadian suppliers or suppliers from an applicable trading partner; suppliers from non-trading partners may be rejected. This does not determine whether a particular business is eligible, so the official RFP should be checked carefully. Before submitting, review the two official tender documents, confirm all mandatory technical requirements, monitor Canada Buys for amendments and answers to questions, and follow the stated bid-receiving instructions. The official notice should be treated as controlling, and all details must be verified there before preparing or submitting a bid.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CNHC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) appears to be refreshing its pre-qualified supplier list for business consulting and professional services. This is not necessarily a contract for immediate work; successful proponents may become eligible to compete for future assignments under a Supply Arrangement. Theopportunity covers seven service streams: 1. Business Process Consulting 2. Organizational Change Management 3. Financial Analysis and Enterprise Performance Management 4. Planning and Implementing Technology Solutions 5. Project and Program Management 6. Risk and Internal Control 7. Climate Change The notice indicates that suppliers already qualified in a stream must still submit a new Appendix F — Supplier Eligibility Attestation Form. They generally do not need to resubmit proposals for streams where they already hold a Supply Arrangement, but they may submit proposals for additional streams. The tender is listed as open and is scheduled to close on November 26, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The listed location is Canada/Ottawa, Ontario, although services may be delivered more broadly depending on the applicable requirements. The opportunity could be relevant to Canadian consulting firms with experience in one or more of the listed areas, but the official RFSA requirements, evaluation criteria, mandatory forms, security or insurance conditions, and submission instructions must be reviewed before deciding whether to respond. The data identifies the buyer as “CNHC,” while the description refers to CMHC; this should be confirmed in the official notice. Review the Canada Buys tender notice and the linked amendment and planned-procurement documents for the authoritative details. Always verify the closing time, required appendices, applicable streams, and any amendments with the official tender documents before submitting a proposal.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, QC

This appears to be an open Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) challenge sponsored by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), with PSPC listed as the buyer. The government is seeking a novel magnetometer—quantum, classical, or hybrid—with improved sensitivity, specificity, size, weight, power consumption, cost, or ability to operate across multiple environments. The proposed system would likely need to combine hardware and software and detect very weak magnetic signals for defence, security, medical, or commercial applications. The challenge identifies technologies such as SQUID, SQIF, NV-diamond, Rydberg-atom, and SERF sensors as possible approaches, but does not appear to limit submissions to these technologies. Key mandatory outcomes described include: - Detect magnetic anomalies at distances of at least 2 metres, with relative error below 10%. - Provide azimuth and inclination readings within ±5 degrees. - Achieve at least 500 picotesla sensitivity in a prototype, with a target of 10 femtotesla. - Distinguish a target signal from background magnetic noise. - Detect and classify three specific Steel 1018 ferromagnetic targets from at least 10 metres through free space, with a 95% true-positive rate for detection and classification. - Roughly characterize the source, such as distinguishing a point source from a larger object, to within approximately ±5 centimetres. - Provide sensing, ranging, directional readings, and displayed results within 200 milliseconds. The listed opening date is October 30, 2026, and the closing date is November 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The challenge is located in Canada, with Gatineau, Quebec shown in the listing. The funding mechanism is identified as a contract. Applications appear to be submitted through the ISC challenge process rather than through a conventional price-based tender. The notice directs proponents to review ISC Call for Proposals 004 (EN578-24ISC4) and then submit through the ISED challenge webpage. The description provided is truncated, so additional technical, eligibility, intellectual-property, security, testing, and proposal requirements may apply. A Canadian business developing advanced magnetometry, sensing, signal processing, or related defence and security systems may find this potentially relevant. However, this summary does not establish eligibility or compliance. Review the complete official challenge notice and Call for Proposals, confirm the submission method and deadlines, and verify every mandatory requirement with the official sources before submitting a proposal.

Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) - *Ottawa, *World, Ottawa, Ontario

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is seeking one contractor to provide access to a user-testing software platform. The platform would help CRA test Canada.ca content with members of the public, including groups such as business owners and families with children, to determine whether users can find information and complete tasks successfully. The requirement may include purchasing additional test requests under the platform’s annual licence. Testing involving people who use assistive reading or navigation technologies is excluded from this procurement. The proposed contract would run for two years, with CRA holding options to extend it for up to five additional one-year periods. The contract is expected to be awarded to the responsive bidder with the lowest evaluated price after meeting all mandatory requirements. Proposals may be submitted in English or French. This procurement may be conditionally set aside under the federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. If at least two compliant Indigenous businesses bid and meet the applicable requirements, the competition may be limited to those businesses. Businesses considering this opportunity should review the PSIB rules and certification requirements carefully. The tender is listed as open and closes November 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice identifies Ottawa, Ontario and worldwide locations. Questions must be sent in writing to [email protected]. Bids must be submitted through the Canada Post Connect service by first asking CRA’s Bid Receiving Unit to open a Connect conversation; bids sent directly by email will not be accepted. This opportunity potentially matches companies that operate user-research, usability-testing, survey, participant-recruitment, or related software platforms. The full RFP should be reviewed for technical specifications, security and privacy requirements, participant or audience requirements, mandatory criteria, pricing instructions, and any Indigenous-business provisions. Verify the official tender notice and all amendments before deciding whether to bid or submitting a proposal: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111244/1000505276b---user--_testing-_software-_platform---rfp_0.pdf

Department of Employment and Social Development (ESDC) - Gatineau, Quebec

ESDC is seeking an independent actuarial analysis of Canada’s federal workers’ compensation regime. The work would compare the short-, medium- and long-term direct and indirect costs of keeping the current system unchanged with the costs of implementing two proposed modernization options. The study would cover the overall regime, the five federal employers with the highest claim volumes, and selected employers with moderate claim volumes. It must also calculate the return on investment (ROI) for both modernization options. This opportunity appears most relevant to firms with demonstrated actuarial, workers’ compensation, financial modelling, cost-benefit and public-sector consulting experience. The tender is open and lists Gatineau, Quebec as the location. The closing date is November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Businesses should review the complete request for proposals for mandatory qualifications, experience requirements, deliverables, security or personnel conditions, pricing instructions and submission procedures. The available documents are the RFP and notice PDFs hosted on Canada Buys; verify all details in the official tender notice before deciding whether to submit a bid.

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

This open tender appears to seek a supplier for a National Individual Standing Offer (NISO) to provide CORCAN/C#### Correctional Service Canada with bleach-safe, 100% cotton denim fabric. The estimated requirement is approximately 50,000 metres per year, but this is an estimate and does not guarantee a purchase volume. Key details: -Buyer: Public Works and Government Services Canada (PSPC) -Tender: 21C31-268293 – RFSO Denim fabric -Closing date: November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. -Delivery: Various locations in Quebec -Contract structure: One-year standing offer, with options for two additional one-year extensions -Eligibility wording: Open to Canadian suppliers and suppliers from an applicable trading partner This may be relevant to a Canadian business that can supply compliant bleach-safe, 100% cotton denim fabric and deliver to multiple Quebec locations.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for major NORAD-related infrastructure at Forward Operating Locations in Inuvik and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It is not currently a bid solicitation, so businesses cannot submit a bid based on this notice alone. The potential work may include airfield upgrades; hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition and fuel facilities; accommodations; warehousing; offices; a fire hall; multipurpose buildings; indoor storage; and IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure. The projects are expected to use large, multi-year Modified Design-Build contracts—one for each site—with estimated values that may exceed $5 billion per location, subject to change and government approval. The anticipated procurement would likely favour large, experienced design-build teams or consortia with demonstrated northern design and construction experience, experience with similar facilities, and the ability to integrate design and construction. Evaluation may also consider logistics, climate and constructability planning, key personnel, Indigenous participation, and an interview process. Successful proponents are expected to develop an Indigenous Benefits Plan covering potential subcontracting, employment and training opportunities. Security clearances are expected to be required before contract award. This advance notice is intended partly to give interested design-builders time to begin the security-clearance sponsorship process, but there is no guarantee that the procurement will proceed or that clearances will be granted in time. The Inuvik solicitation is projected for release in fall 2026, and the Yellowknife solicitation in summer 2027, conditional on approval to proceed. The notice lists a closing date of November 30, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.; confirm what that date applies to because this notice states that it is not a bid call. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may potentially find opportunities as subcontractors, suppliers, Indigenous partners, or members of a larger design-build team, but the notice does not establish eligibility or guarantee subcontracting opportunities. Review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the Government tender source before taking action. Confirm the security requirements, procurement schedule, scope, qualification criteria, Indigenous participation obligations, submission instructions, and whether the anticipated contracts proceed.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Québec, Gatineau, Quebec

This is an open Request for Information (RFI), not necessarily a contract opportunity or call for bids. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is seeking information for Defence Research and Development Canada’s Valcartier Research Centre about measuring and modelling electro-optical signals from materials. The work appears highly specialized and may involve scientific or engineering capabilities related to electro-optical signal measurement, materials testing, data analysis, and modelling. The notice is associated with Gatineau, Quebec, although the research centre referenced is DRDC Valcartier. The stated closing date is December 1, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Businesses with relevant technical experience may wish to review the RFI to understand what information PSPC is requesting and whether responding could be appropriate. An RFI response does not necessarily lead to a contract or guarantee a future procurement. Before taking action, review the complete official notice and any documents in the procurement portal for response instructions, mandatory requirements, security or technical expectations, and the authoritative closing time.Official source: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110029563?an Id=ANONYMOUS
