This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for large-scale facilities maintenance and support services in Northern Canada. It is not currently a bid solicitation or request for proposals, and there is no guarantee that the planned contracts will proceed.
The anticipated work could cover approximately 100 buildings and related infrastructure, with an estimated total area of 60,000 m². Services may include building and equipment maintenance, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire and life-safety systems, generators, security systems, janitorial services, landscaping, pest control, hazardous-waste and environmental services, snow and ice control, waste management, utility support, help-desk services, emergency response, and maintenance-program management.
Potential locations include Churchill, Manitoba; Inuvik and Yellowknife; Whitehorse; and several Nunavut locations, including Iqaluit, Resolute Bay, Eureka, Rankin Inlet, Gascoyne Inlet, and Nanisivik Naval Facility. Thenotice anticipates two possible contracts: one for Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon, with a potential estimated value of $240 million; and one for Nunavut, with a potential estimated value of $225 million. Each could have an initial five-year term plus two three-year options, for a possible total of up to 11 years.
The related solicitations are anticipated around winter 2026–2027, with service commencement anticipated in winter 2028, subject to project approval. The notice identifies an anticipated Secret-level Facility Security Clearance. Businesses that may wish to participate and do not already hold the required clearance are encouraged to review the Defence Construction Canada Industrial Security Program sponsorship process, although sponsorship does not guarantee clearance or contract award.
The program may also create subcontracting, employment, and training opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities. A business considering this opportunity should assess its northern operating capacity, relevant facilities-management experience, ability to support remote sites, subcontractor and logistics arrangements, and security-clearance requirements. This notice alone does not establish bidding requirements or confirm eligibility. Review the official notice and any future solicitation documents carefully before taking action or submitting a proposal: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4083739956/abstract?language=EN. The listed closing date is November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., but because this is an advance notice, confirm the current status and applicable deadlines in the official source.
