### What is being purchased
DND is seeking a contractor to supply, deliver, and install furniture for new office space on the second and third floors of the Joe Tobie Building. The project is intended to add workstations and support sit-stand working arrangements.
The listed requirements include approximately:
- 10 U-shaped height-adjustable workstations with file-storage pedestals
- 14 L-shaped height-adjustable desks
- 10 additional height-adjustable desks of various sizes
- 7 flip-top tables measuring approximately 60 x 24 inches
- 3 flip-top tables measuring approximately 72 x 24 inches
- 2 boardroom tables
- 1 reception desk
- 1 meeting table for 12 people
- 4 bookcases
- 8 wardrobes
- 3 banks of lockers
- 28 two-drawer mobile file cabinets
- Approximately 95 office, guest, executive, lounge, and other chairs
- 22 black coat racks
- 3 coffee tables and 3 seated-height tables
The contractor would also need to coordinate delivery timing with the CAF representative, install the furniture in the designated rooms, provide an English-speaking customer-service contact, and replace defective goods within 14 days.
### Clarifications already provided
- The October 10, 2026 delivery and installation deadline is firm.
- For the U-shaped height-adjustable workstations, a height-adjustable main desk with a fixed return or back credenza may be acceptable if the overall workstation meets the required form, dimensions, and functionality.
- The tender record includes additional questions about desk orientation, but the supplied text is incomplete. The complete answer should be checked in the official documents or addenda.
### Points for a business to review
This opportunity appears potentially relevant to a commercial furniture supplier, office-furniture installer, or a business able to coordinate both supply and installation in Yellowknife. The short period between the September 25 bid closing date and the October 10 delivery deadline may require confirmed inventory, freight planning, installation labour, and site coordination.
The statement of work also contains a requirement for 24/7 customer service relating to “cell phone data and calling services,” which appears inconsistent with the furniture scope. This should be clarified before submitting a bid. Businesses should also confirm the complete furniture list, dimensions, layout requirements, warranty or product standards, delivery terms, security/site-access requirements, insurance, payment terms, and any mandatory bidder qualifications.
Review the complete solicitation, statement of work, Joe Tobie layout, and all amendments or question-and-answer notices at the linked document locations before deciding whether to bid. This summary is not an eligibility determination, and all requirements and deadlines must be verified against the official tender notice before submission.
