Defence Construction Canada - Western Region - Edmonton, Alberta
**Tender overview:** Defence Construction Canada (DCC) – Western Region is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work at CFB Shilo. The list is intended for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction opportunities valued at up to approximately $10 million. **What this means:** This is not a contract award. Businesses placed on the list may be invited through MERX to bid on future construction projects during the period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. DCC may also issue separate tenders or apply additional pre-qualification requirements for particular projects. **Application details:** - Applications must be submitted electronically through the MERX posting; faxed, mailed, or emailed applications will not be accepted. - An active MERX account is required. - Applicants must select either English or French. That language will be used for future tender and contract documents and communications for the duration of the list. - Businesses on the previous 2023–2026 source list must apply again. - DCC states that applications may be submitted at any time, but preferably by March 4, 2026, and that processing may take 10 business days. - The listed closing date is March 31, 2029, at 3:00 p.m.; verify how this date applies to applications in the official MERX notice. **Important considerations:** To bid on a future tender, the business’s legal name must appear on the applicable source list. Some opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, or may require Indigenous subcontracting and an Indigenous Benefits Plan. DCC may also assess contractor performance and remove businesses from the list where performance is unacceptable. The tender data identifies Edmonton, Alberta, while the work is described as being at CFB Shilo; confirm the applicable work location and any regional requirements in the official notice. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian contractors and suppliers able to provide the specified construction services, but the business should review the complete MERX documents and confirm all requirements before applying or submitting any bid. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
