Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario
This tender appears to be an ongoing pre-qualification request, not a single construction job. Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is inviting contractors and suppliers to apply for an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for work in the Ottawa/Gatineau area for April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. If added to the list, a business could be invited to bid on future construction opportunities worth up to $10 million across commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil work. Key points: -Buyer: Defence Construction Canada (National Capital Region) -Location: Ottawa, Ontario / Gatineau area -Deadline shown: March 31, 2029 at 2:00 PM, but DCC says applications should be submitted as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026, because processing takes about 10 business days -Submission method: through MERX only; fax, mail, and email are not accepted - Official language must be selected (English or French), and that language will be used for all future documents and communication - Businesses that were on the previous source list must re-apply - An active MERX account is required - DCC may also have additional requirements for specific tenders later, including Indigenous set-asides or Indigenous benefits plans What this likely means for a Canadian business owner: - If your company does construction or related supply work in the National Capital Region, this appears relevant and could be a way to get access to future government-related opportunities. - Being on the list does not guarantee work; it only makes your business eligible to receive invitations when projects arise. - You should verify the official MERX notice carefully, especially eligibility, required documents, registration status, language selection, and any Indigenous business requirements before applying.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3804640554/abstract?language=EN
