Defence Construction Canada - Western Region - Edmonton, Alberta
This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not a request for bids yet. The buyer is Defence Construction Canada (Western Region), and the project relates to Construction Management Services for the Wainwright Base Program at CFB Wainwright, Alberta. The notice says the project may involve new buildings, upgrades to existing buildings, demolition, and horizontal infrastructure improvements such as utilities, roads, and parking lots. The estimated value is about $525 million. The current closing date shown is 2026-09-20 at 4:00 PM, but the notice also says the actual solicitation is only anticipated for July/August 2026 and may not proceed at all. A key point is that security requirements are expected. The anticipated clearance level is Designated Organization Screening (DOS), and firms that do not already hold the required clearance are being encouraged to start the Industrial Security Program sponsorship process through DCC. The notice also says there may be an Indigenous business participation component under PSIB. For a Canadian business owner, this potentially matches firms that provide construction management services and are prepared for federal security screening. However, you should verify the official MERX notice and DCC security requirements carefully before taking any action, because this is only an advance notice and not a guaranteed opportunity.
