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

This appears to be an open Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) challenge sponsored by Shared Services Canada and administered through Public Works and Government Services Canada. It seeks an AI governance solution that can make AI decision-making more visible and traceable, help maintain compliance with Canadian laws, policies and standards, identify affected AI systems when requirements change, and support reassessment, auditability, explainability and human oversight. Potentially relevant businesses may include Canadian AI, machine-learning, cybersecurity, compliance, enterprise-software or governance technology companies with a solution that can integrate with government enterprise systems and AI/ML lifecycle platforms. The notice specifically refers to standards-based APIs, connectors and interoperable data exchange for information such as AI-system metadata, risk assessments, compliance findings, audit evidence, monitoring results, approvals and decision records. The supplied description is truncated, so additional mandatory outcomes and evaluation requirements are not available here. The funding mechanism is a contract. The notice states that one Phase 2 contract is estimated, with a maximum value of $2,000,000 CAD excluding applicable taxes and certain expenses, and a maximum duration of up to 20 months. Multiple contracts could be awarded, but Canada does not commit to awarding the full stated amount. No travel is expected; meetings are planned by telephone or videoconference. To apply, the notice directs proponents to review ISC Call for Proposals 004 (EN578-24ISC4), then submit a proposal through the ISC challenge webpage. The listed closing date is December 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.; the description also says the ISC website will be available October 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. ET. Because the supplied record has no direct official-source URL and appears to contain incomplete text, confirm the deadline, submission method, eligibility rules, Phase 1 requirements, mandatory outcomes, evaluation criteria and contract terms in the official Canada Buys and ISC notices before preparing or submitting a proposal. This summary does not establish that any company qualifies.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not a request for proposals yet. Defence Construction Canada is signalling a very large upcoming opportunity related to NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure at Deployed Operating Base Goose Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. The notice says the future contract may exceed $5B and would use a Modified Design-Build delivery model, covering phases such as requirements validation, design, and construction. The scope described includes major airfield and base infrastructure work such as hangars, aprons, taxiways, runway rehabilitation, fuel and ammunition facilities, accommodations, warehousing, IT/cyber/logistics infrastructure, roads, and fire hall facilities. Security requirements will apply, and the notice suggests interested design-builders may need to start sponsorship/security clearance steps, but it also states there is no guarantee the contract will proceed or that clearances will be granted. From a Canadian business perspective, this potentially matches firms with experience in large-scale northern design-build construction, airport/airfield works, military or secure facilities, and teams that can manage both design and construction together. Indigenous participation, logistics, climate, and constructability in northern environments are expected to matter in the eventual RFP.Important: the official notice should be verified carefully on MERX before making any bid decisions, because this is only a preliminary notice and the final RFP details, evaluation criteria, and timelines may change.

Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) appears to be seeking individuals to provide contracted Designated Representative (DR) services for people who cannot represent themselves in immigration and refugee proceedings. DRs would be expected to protect and advance the interests of vulnerable individuals and demonstrate sound judgment, knowledge of immigration and refugee processes, cultural competence, and the ability to work effectively with vulnerable populations. Experience in social work, immigration law, advocacy, or related areas is identified as an asset. The opportunity is competitive and may result in up to an estimated 100 contracts. Assignments would be made on an as-needed basis, and the number of assignments is not guaranteed. Work may be required in the Eastern Region (including Montreal, Ottawa, and the Atlantic Provinces), Central Region (Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area), or Western Region (including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, and Winnipeg). Assignment volumes may depend on case needs, language or cultural considerations, suitability, and contractor availability. The listed submission deadline is December 31, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The application package appears to require: a completed and signed DR Program Application Form, a résumé or curriculum vitae, proof that the applicant is at least 18 years old, and proof of Canadian citizenship or legal authorization to work in Canada. Submissions are to be sent electronically to [email protected]. This opportunity may be more suitable for individual professionals than for a conventional company-led tender, although the official documents should be checked for the precise contracting and eligibility terms. Before applying, review the amended official Canada Buys notice and attachments, confirm the current deadline and submission instructions, and verify all evaluation criteria and required evidence. The tender details provided here do not establish that any particular applicant or business qualifies.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice—not a request for proposals—for a potential major infrastructure contract at the Canadian Armed Forces’ Forward Operating Location in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Defence Construction Canada issued it to give potential design-build teams time to assess their interest, plan, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship process. The potential project could include airfield upgrades, aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways, ammunition storage, fuel facilities, accommodations, offices, warehouses, a fire hall, multipurpose buildings, IT/cyber infrastructure, and logistics facilities. Preliminary quantities include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 60,000 m² of apron, and other large building and paving areas. These figures may change. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation and planning, design, and construction. The notice indicates one contract for the site, with a potential total value exceeding $5 billion. The opportunity appears aimed primarily at a large, integrated design-builder or consortium with substantial experience in northern construction, comparable infrastructure, logistics, climate-related challenges, and Indigenous participation. Security requirements are expected, and clearance sponsorship may be necessary; clearance approval and timing are not guaranteed. The notice says the potential RFP is projected for fall 2027, subject to DND approval. The record lists a closing date of January 11, 2027, at 2:00 p.m., but because this is an advance notice and the stated RFP timing is later, the dates and any response requirements should be confirmed carefully in the official notice. A business considering this opportunity may wish to assess its northern and remote-project experience, design-build capacity, comparable military or complex industrial work, key personnel, security-clearance requirements, consortium or subcontracting options, logistics capabilities, and approach to Indigenous participation. This notice does not confirm that a contract will proceed or that any particular company will be eligible or successful.

Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

This open Expression of Interest (EOI) is from Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) for Elders and Elder Helpers to provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in federal correctional institutions in the Prairies Region. The work may include traditional teachings, counselling, ceremonies, healing support, cultural guidance, participation in case conferences, and support for escorted temporary absences. Elder Helpers may assist Elders with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, offender supervision, teachings, counselling, and reports. The opportunity appears intended for individuals who are recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and traditional teachers as having appropriate knowledge of Indigenous culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. CSC may also work with First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous organizations. Services would take place in a controlled federal correctional environment and may involve security procedures, staff coordination, and institutional access requirements. The EOI is listed as open and closes January 13, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. The listing shows Canada/Ottawa, Ontario, but the services described are for CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. This appears to be an invitation for interested Elders and Elder Helpers to contact CSC, rather than a standard competitive tender with a stated purchase price or guaranteed contract. The provided listing does not include a contact name or email, so those details should be confirmed in the official notice. Review the official statement-of-work documents before responding: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/84482/elder-helper-sow-eng.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/84482/elders-sow-en-2020-02-03.pdf. Verify the closing time, applicable institution locations, recognition and experience requirements, security/access procedures, rates or contracting terms, response instructions, and the correct CSC contact directly in the official tender notice. This summary does not determine whether any individual or organization qualifies.

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

This appears to be a Department of National Defence requirement managed by Public Services and Procurement Canada for a contractor to provide a multipurpose alpine military mobility training facility, instructors, and equipment for training up to 14 soldiers. Training may involve skis, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and other transportation methods in mountainous, remote, and difficult terrain under various weather conditions. Some activities may involve live weapons firing on the contractor’s facilities, so significant safety, security, insurance, site, and operational requirements may apply. The opportunity is structured as a Request for Supply Arrangement with two streams: one for Indigenous business offerors and one for non-Indigenous business offerors. This is not necessarily an immediate contract award; suppliers may first need to qualify for the arrangement and meet the specific requirements in the official tender documents. The posting lists Canada and the United States, with Gatineau, Quebec shown as the location. The tender is currently marked open. Although the tender data shows a closing time of January 14, 2027 at 9:00 a.m., the description contains an amendment stating that all bid materials must be submitted by January 14, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and that late bids will be considered non-responsive. The amended deadline should be treated as the apparent deadline, but it must be confirmed in the official notice and any associated documents. This opportunity may be relevant to businesses with suitable alpine or austere-terrain facilities, qualified instructors, specialized mobility equipment, and the ability to support military training and weapons-related safety requirements. Businesses should review the complete official tender, qualification criteria, Indigenous-business stream rules, submission instructions, insurance and security requirements, and all amendments before deciding whether to respond. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, and the official tender notice remains the controlling source.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an advance notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for a major infrastructure project at CFB Halifax, near Bedford, Nova Scotia. Defence Construction Canada’s Atlantic Region anticipates a future Construction Management contract, identified as HX26CPSP, with an estimated value of approximately $5 billion to $10 billion. The anticipated posting date is January 2027, and the notice currently shows a closing date of January 14, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; these details should be confirmed in the official notice.

The anticipated requirement is a Facility Security Clearance up to Level II (SECRET). Businesses that do not already hold the required clearance may be able to begin a sponsorship process through DCC’s Industrial Security Program, but sponsorship is discretionary and does not guarantee clearance, contract award, or that the project will proceed. The notice also says the eventual procurement may include an Indigenous business participation component under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. This could be relevant to Indigenous businesses or potential partners, but the exact requirements are not yet available. Businesses interested in monitoring this opportunity should review the official MERX notice and DCC security requirements, assess their capacity for a very large, complex, security-sensitive construction management project, and begin any security-clearance steps only after confirming the process and requirements directly with DCC. This notice alone does not establish eligibility or guarantee an opportunity to bid.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an early warning for a potential design-build opportunity at CFB Uplands in Ottawa, Ontario.

Shared Services Canada (SSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

Shared Services Canada (SSC) has opened an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for Canadian sovereign cloud service providers. The process is intended to create a list of vendors that may be invited to participate in future sovereign cloud procurements. It is not a competitive contract opportunity and does not itself result in a contract or purchase commitment. The opportunity appears potentially relevant to businesses that provide cloud infrastructure, hosting, security, data-residency, or related services and can demonstrate Canadian ownership and control, including control by any parent companies. Respondents must also submit a value proposition describing their sovereign cloud offering. The full ITQ sets out the detailed eligibility requirements, forms, supporting documents, and submission instructions. The listed closing time is January 31, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. The first intake period has closed, but a new qualification intake period is stated to be open. SSC has also issued amendments, webinar materials, and updated questions and answers, which should be reviewed before preparing a response. SSC has invoked the National Security Exception for all phases of the process, meaning the procurement is exempt from Canada’s trade agreements. The qualification may be a mandatory entry point for participating in current or future sovereign cloud procurement opportunities, but qualification would not guarantee an invitation, contract, or future work. Before responding, review the latest ITQ and all amendments and Q&A documents on the official Canada Buys notice. Confirm the current deadline, submission method, ownership and control requirements, technical expectations, security obligations, and required evidence directly against the official tender documents.
