This is an open, ongoing opportunity from Public Works and Government Services Canada to pre-qualify suppliers of electric buses. The opportunity appears relevant to manufacturers, authorized suppliers, or businesses able to provide one or more of the following: (1) electric shuttle buses, (2) electric school buses, or (3) electric commuter coach buses. Suppliers may apply for one, two, or all three groups. Canada will assess submitted arrangements against the technical requirements in the official specifications. Businesses that are accepted into the Supply Arrangement may later be invited to bid on specific bus contracts; submitting an arrangement by itself does not create a purchase contract or guarantee future work. Deliveries may be required across Canada, including the listed provinces and territories. The notice indicates an ongoing qualification process, with no defined end date for the Supply Arrangement. The record shows a closing date of April 16, 2046 at 3:00 p.m., but this unusual date and the effect of Amendment 007 should be confirmed in the current official notice. The notice references multiple trade agreements and allows submissions in either English or French. Electronic submission through epost Connect is encouraged. The listed contacts are Jacques Legault and Donna Serra at PWGSC.Potential next steps: review Amendment 007 and all current technical specifications, determine which bus groups your business can support, confirm manufacturing, delivery, warranty, charging, safety, and regulatory requirements, and prepare the required Supply Arrangement submission. This summary does not determine whether your business qualifies. Verify the complete, current tender notice, attachments, submission instructions, deadlines, and contact details on the official Canada Buys/GETS source before submitting a bid or arrangement.
