Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Northwest Territories *YellowKnife, *Northwest Territories, Edmonton, AB
PSPC is seeking expressions of interest from parties that may be able to provide office space in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. This appears to be a potential commercial leasing opportunity rather than a standard purchase contract. Key requirements include: - Approximately 513 usable square metres of contiguous office space. - One outdoor energized parking space. - An approximately 10-year lease, expected to begin around October 1, 2029. - PSPC may have an early termination right on or after October 1, 2037, with at least 12 months’ written notice. - The space should be available about 48 weeks before the lease begins—approximately October 2028—to allow preparation for occupancy. - A dedicated telecommunications room of at least 9 square metres within the proposed space. This room would be outside the usable-area calculation but included in rentable area. - An office or commercial-type building; heavy or medium industrial and warehouse/manufacturing facilities will not normally be considered. - Accessibility for persons with disabilities, suitable surrounding land uses, efficient space dimensions, and cleaning during business hours. - Compliance with PSPC’s Standards for Leased Accommodation by the lease start date. The notice indicates that PSPC may inspect proposed premises and may conduct a threat and risk assessment. The stated closing date is October 30, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. The tender data contains a location inconsistency—one field mentions Yellowknife and Edmonton, while the detailed requirements specify that the space must be in Yellowknife—so this should be confirmed in the official notice. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to a property owner, landlord, developer, or representative able to offer suitable Yellowknife office premises. It does not establish that any particular business qualifies or that a lease will be awarded.
