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. It is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals, so businesses cannot submit a construction bid at this stage. The potential contract, identified as Contract 88076, would involve designing and constructing a new CETEMT facility and compound. The project is expected to include: - A single-storey facility of approximately 1,650 m² - Offices, workspaces and meeting rooms - Maintenance garages and workshops - Secure storage and a weapons vault - Server rooms, washrooms and support areas - An exterior compound of approximately 6,500 m², including parking The delivery method is expected to be a Modified Design-Build contract, with a rough total value of approximately $17 million. The anticipated solicitation posting is listed for Q4 of fiscal year 2026–27, subject to Department of National Defence approval. The APN currently shows a closing date of January 20, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.; this date should be confirmed in the official notice. The future procurement is expected to include security requirements at the FSC Secret level. Design-builders that do not already hold the required clearance may be able to begin a sponsorship process through Defence Construction Canada’s Industrial Security Program. Sponsorship is discretionary, may take time, and does not guarantee that clearances will be granted or that the project will proceed. The notice also states that an Indigenous businesses participation component is expected under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Businesses should review the eventual solicitation for the specific participation, partnership, subcontracting and security conditions. This opportunity potentially matches established design-builders, construction firms and relevant partners with the capacity to deliver a major secure federal defence facility. Before taking action, review the complete official MERX notice and DCC security guidance, confirm the anticipated schedule and requirements, and obtain professional advice as needed.The official source is: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4080727218/abstract?language=EN. This APN does not guarantee that a solicitation or contract will be issued, and it does not establish that any particular business qualifies.

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.

**Tender:** W8476-216429 – Weapons Effect Simulation Modernization (WESM) RFI **Buyer:** Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), for the Department of National Defence (DND) **Status:** Open **Closing date:** February 8, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. **Location:** Gatineau, Quebec / Canada **What this is:** This is a **Request for Information (RFI)**, not necessarily a request for priced bids. PSPC and DND are seeking additional information and feedback from vendors to help define the next phase of the Weapons Effect Simulation Modernization requirement. The notice refers to earlier WESM RFI/LOI notices, suggesting this may be part of an ongoing market-engagement process. **Potential relevance:** This appears potentially relevant to businesses with experience in defence training systems, weapons-effects modelling, simulation software, systems integration, military technology, testing, or related research and development. The available summary does not provide enough information to determine the expected capabilities, response format, security requirements, or whether subcontracting or teaming opportunities are available. **Important considerations:** - An RFI generally seeks industry feedback and may not lead directly to a contract. - Carefully review the official notice and all attached documents for submission instructions, mandatory forms, security requirements, intellectual-property provisions, and any industry day or question deadlines. - Confirm whether this notice replaces, supplements, or follows the earlier WESM notices identified in the description. Review the official Canada Buys/PSPC noticebefore preparing or submitting a response: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110027715?an Id=ANONYMOUS The information provided here is only a plain-English summary.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) about potential construction, maintenance, professional-service, and related opportunities at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. It is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. The notice is intended to give businesses time to assess their interest and prepare for future opportunities. There is no guarantee that the projects will proceed, that a particular contract will be issued, or that security clearances will be granted. Potential procurement routes include: - Open tenders or RFPs advertised through MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. - The Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for 14Wing Greenwood: AR26SLGW_86028. - Quick Response Tender source lists for commercial general contracting (GW26SL02), residential general contracting (GW26SL03), and mechanical contracting (GW26SL04). - Other source lists, standing offers, and standing offer agreements for construction, professional, environmental, architectural, engineering, and related services. Some future projects may involve security requirements, and some may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Source-list opportunities may be invitation-only, and a MERX account is required to apply to the listed MERX source lists. The notice shows a closing date of March 31, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; this appears to be the closing date for the advance notice or related process, not necessarily a deadline to bid on a specific construction contract. The listed location is Bedford, Nova Scotia, while the projects described are at 14 Wing Greenwood; this should be confirmed in the official notice. A potentially interested business should review the complete MERX notice and attachments, determine whether the relevant source-list application windows are still open, assess any insurance, experience, bonding, licensing, Indigenous-business, and security-clearance requirements, and monitor future solicitations. Verify all dates, scope, eligibility conditions, security procedures, and submission instructions in the official tender notice before taking action or submitting anything.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This tender appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for upcoming work at 5 Wing Goose Bay in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is not a bid solicitation yet, so there is no immediate request for pricing or proposals. The notice is mainly meant to alert contractors and consultants to prepare for future opportunities in base operations, housing agency, and real property work. A few points stand out: - Future opportunities may be tendered through MERX, Canada Buys, source lists, standing offers, or standing offer agreements. - Some work may require security clearances, and the notice says sponsorship for clearances may be needed in advance. - Some projects may be set aside for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). - The Open Construction Source List for 5 Wing Goose Bay is currently open on MERX, and interested contractors are invited to apply. For a Canadian business owner, this looks potentially relevant if you do construction, consulting, trades, environmental, or related services and can work on federal defence-related projects in Labrador. The key next step would be to review the official MERX notice and any attached document listing the anticipated projects, because the future opportunities, timelines, security requirements, and eligibility conditions are not fully confirmed here. Please verify the official notice carefully before taking any action or preparing a bid.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) about possible future construction and related service opportunities at CFB Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is not a bid solicitation or RFP, so there is nothing to bid on yet. The notice says upcoming work may be procured through MERX and, if applicable, Canada Buys, with some opportunities potentially tied to an Open Construction Source List (OCSL), source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. The OCSL for 9 Wing Gander is currently open on MERX, and interested contractors are invited to apply using a MERX account. Some future projects may require security clearances, and some may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under PSIB. Because this is only a preliminary notice, a business owner should verify the official MERX notice and any linked documents to confirm scope, security requirements, eligibility rules, timelines, and whether there is a relevant procurement path before preparing anything.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada for upcoming work at 5 CDSB Gagetown in Oromocto, New Brunswick. It is not a current bid request, so it does not ask companies to submit a proposal yet. Instead, it is meant to alert contractors and consultants to possible future opportunities and to let them prepare in advance. The notice suggests future work may be issued through several channels, including open competitive tenders on MERX/Canada Buys, an Open Construction Source List (OCSL), Quick Response Tender source lists, professional services source lists, and standing offer arrangements. It also notes that some future projects may require security clearance, and that some opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. For construction businesses, the most directly relevant items mentioned are the Gagetown and P.E.I. Open Construction Source List and the General Contracting Quick Response Tender source list, both currently open on MERX according to the notice. However, you would need to verify the official notice and source-list instructions before acting, since eligibility, security requirements, timelines, and whether a specific future project proceeds are not guaranteed. The closing date shown is 2027-03-31 13:00:00, but because this is an APN, that date should be checked carefully against the official MERX notice and any linked documents. If you want, I can also help you extract the practical action items from the notice, such as what to look for on MERX and what documents to review first.

Department of National Defence (DND) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

The Department of National Defence (DND), through Canadian Forces Health Services, is seeking accredited Canadian universities that operate Physician Assistant Education Programs.

The tender is currently listed as open and closes March 31, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. The listed location is Ottawa, Ontario, with the requirement potentially applying across Canada.

Review both documents carefully for accreditation requirements, placement terms, student-volume expectations, contract conditions, submission instructions, and any mandatory forms. The listing does not provide a direct official-source link in the supplied data, so verify the current notice and all amendments on Canada Buys before deciding whether to submit a bid.
