**Tender overview — potential office-space leasing opportunity** Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from parties that may be able to provide approximately **1,451 usable square metres of contiguous office space** in Calgary, Alberta. This appears to be an information-gathering exercise for a possible long-term lease, rather than a final contract award or standard construction/services bid. **Key dates and lease terms** - EOI closing date: **November 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.** -Expected lease start: approximately **October 1, 2029** -Initial term: approximately **10 years** - PSPC may have an early termination right on or after **October 1, 2037**, with at least 12 months’ written notice. - One possible **two-year extension option** is identified. - The space would need to be available approximately **37 weeks before the lease begins** to allow preparation for occupancy. **Main property requirements** The proposed premises would generally need to: - Be in Calgary, within the geographic boundaries described in the notice. - Include at least **665 usable square metres on the main floor**. A visible storefront, main-road location, and direct pedestrian access may be preferred. - Be in an office or commercial building. Heavy or medium industrial areas and warehouse/manufacturing buildings are not expected to be considered; mixed-use buildings may be considered at PSPC’s discretion. - Include a dedicated telecommunications/equipment room of at least **20 usable square metres**, separate from the stated usable-area figure but included in rentable-area calculations. - Have approximately **10 publicly available parking spaces within one block**. - Support cleaning during business hours and installation of a bicycle rack. - Be fully accessible to people with disabilities. - Have an accessible walking route to public transit within **600 metres** of the main entrance, with weekday service generally no more than 30 minutes apart between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. - Be compatible with PSPC’s intended use and allow an efficient office layout. - Meet PSPC’s Standards for Leased Accommodation by the lease commencement date. **Location note** The tender data references Alberta, Calgary and Edmonton in the location field, but the detailed requirements state that the space must be in **Calgary** and provide specific Calgary-area boundaries. The text description is stated to take precedence over any map, so this should be confirmed in the official notice. This opportunity may be relevant to commercial landlords, property owners, developers, or brokers with a suitable Calgary office property that can meet the space, accessibility, transit, parking, security, and fit-up requirements. An EOI response would not necessarily result in a lease or guarantee that PSPC proceeds with the requirement. Before responding, review the official tender document and obtain PSPC’s applicable accommodation standards and submission instructions. Confirm the exact boundaries, required response format, property eligibility, inspection/security requirements,and all dates in the official notice: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/108207/20261002-eoi-en-81003633.pdf
