Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario
This appears to be an open pre-qualification / source list opportunity with Defence Construction Canada (DCC), not a single project tender. DCC is inviting contractors and suppliers to get on an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work in Northern Canada for April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. Work categories mentioned include commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil projects, generally valued at $10 million and below. Locations mentioned include sites in Yellowknife, Inuvik, and North Warning System sites in the Northwest Territories and Yukon, excluding Nunavut and Goose Bay, NL. DCC says suppliers must apply through MERX, choose an official language (English or French), and use an active MERX account; faxed, mailed, or emailed submissions will not be accepted. It also notes that businesses on the prior source list need to re-apply. The posting says DCC may invite all listed firms to future bid opportunities, and some future tenders may be limited to Indigenous businesses or require Indigenous subcontracting. The requested application is preferably by March 4, 2026, but the source list closing date shown is March 31, 2029. A Canadian business owner should verify the official MERX notice carefully, especially the listing requirements, language choice, and any future pre-qualification rules before submitting.
