Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

**Tender summary — Housing Construction Plan (Advance Procurement Notice)** Defence Construction Canada, for the National Capital Region, has published an advance notice about a planned Canadian Forces housing construction program. This notice is **not a bid solicitation or request for proposals**, and there is no guarantee that the proposed contracts will proceed. The program is expected to use Modified Design-Build contracts combining site studies, architectural and engineering services, detailed design, infrastructure work, and construction. Projects are expected to focus mainly on higher-density, mid-rise apartment housing for Canadian Armed Forces members. **Potentially relevant upcoming locations:** - Wainwright, Cold Lake and Edmonton, Alberta — approximately $608 million combined - Winnipeg and Shilo, Manitoba — approximately $194 million combined - Borden, Kingston, North Bay and Petawawa, Ontario — approximately $1.076 billion combined - Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan — approximately $11 million The notice indicates these potential solicitations may begin in **fall 2026**, subject to Department of National Defence approval. Some locations may be procured separately, while others could be bundled into one Request for Proposals. Earlier RFPs for locations including Ottawa have reportedly already been published. The Government of Canada also expects potential opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities through subcontracting, employment and training connected with the program. The notice shows a closing date of **October 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.**, but because this is an advance notice rather than a bid call, businesses should confirm what that date represents in the official posting. Documents and any future solicitation information are available through MERX, where fees may apply. This opportunity appears most relevant to design-builders, construction companies, architectural and engineering firms, major subcontractors, and businesses able to support large-scale residential construction. Review the official MERX notice and any later RFP documents carefully for mandatory requirements, procurement timelines, project-specific scopes, bonding, security, insurance, Indigenous participation provisions, and submission instructions before deciding whether to pursue it.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec

This appears to be an open Canadian defence-innovation challenge seeking Canadian-made technologies for sustainable water and waste operations in remote Arctic and sub-Arctic military camps. The Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces are looking for an integrated system that can provide water purification, wastewater treatment, and solid-waste reduction for camps of up to 50 personnel. The system would need to operate continuously in remote northern conditions, including temperatures as low as -40°C, while meeting applicable Canadian drinking-water and wastewater requirements. Key requirements include: - Modular components transportable by air or ship and fitting within specified 20-foot sea-container limits. - On-site assembly without heavy-lift equipment. - At least a 75% reduction in resupply requirements for fuel, water, and consumables compared with the stated baseline. - Maintainability and repairability using common trades and tools available to deployed CAF personnel. - Potentially desirable features include integrated power, operation up to +40°C, no manual pre-processing of solid waste, and recovery or reuse of waste heat or by-products. The challenge accepts proposals across technology readiness levels (TRLs) 1 through 9: - Component 1a, TRL 1–3: up to $250,000 CAD, excluding taxes, for up to 6 months. - Component 1b, TRL 4–5: up to $1.5 million CAD, excluding taxes, for up to 12 months. - Component 2, TRL 6–9: up to $5 million CAD, excluding taxes; the performance period would be negotiated. Multiple contracts may be awarded, but the stated funding is a maximum and does not guarantee that funding will be committed. The notice shows a closing date of October 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The listed location is Gatineau, Quebec, although the proposed work concerns northern deployments. To apply, the notice directs proponents to review the challenge and IDEaS Call for Proposals 006, then submit through the Defence Innovation Portal: https://defence-innovation-portal.my.site.com/ The available documents include the challenge PDF and an IDEaS CFP amendment. Before preparing or submitting a proposal, review those documents and the current official notice carefully for eligibility rules, required forms, evaluation criteria, intellectual-property terms, security requirements, submission instructions, and any amendments.

Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario

**Tender summary:** Defence Construction Canada is seeking a design-build team for the Strategic Tanker Transport Capability (STTC) Main Operating Base–East at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario. The project’s rough order of magnitude is approximately **$228 million**. **Key details:** - **Buyer:** Defence Construction Canada (DCC) - **Procurement:** Modified design-build for design and construction services - **Location:** 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario. The listing also shows Ottawa, so the official documents should be checked for the precise project and contracting location. - **Closing date:** October 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The MERX system should be treated as the controlling source for the exact closing time. - **Bid method:** Proposals must be submitted electronically through MERX. - **Security:** The selected contractor is required to hold a valid **SECRET-level Facility Security Clearance (FSC)** issued through the federal Contract Security Program. Amendment No. 1 reportedly contains further security requirements. - **Site visit:** A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for September 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. local time, meeting at the parking lot at 6 Northstar Dr., Trenton. - **Expected expertise:** The listed roles include architects, sustainable-design specialists, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil/municipal and BIM professionals, as well as cargo-handling and passenger-processing subject-matter experts. - **Trade agreements:** The solicitation refers to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, CETA and the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement.

Smaller Canadian firms may potentially find opportunities as specialist subcontractors or design consultants, subject to the RFP’s teaming and subcontracting rules. Before deciding whether to pursue it, review the complete RFP, amendments, security requirements, mandatory experience criteria, bonding and insurance provisions, submission instructions and any Indigenous or subcontracting requirements.

Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario

This tender appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for a future National Source List to supply and install electronic security systems at various locations across Canada, excluding Nunavut. It is not a current bid request yet, but a heads-up that a solicitation may be posted later, with the current notice saying an anticipated posting is November 2026. For a Canadian business owner, this potentially matches firms that do electronic security work such as supply, installation, verification, inspection, testing, training, and maintenance support for security systems. The notice says multiple contractors may be selected for as-and-when-required work, with an estimated value of about $3 million initially and possible extensions that could increase the total potential value to $7 million over up to 7 years.A major point is the security requirement: the notice says the anticipated clearance is Facility Security Clearance (FSC) for the business and Reliability for personnel. Companies that do not already have the required clearances are being encouraged to start the sponsorship process early through DCC’s Industrial Security Program.Important cautions: this is only an advance notice, not a tender you can bid on yet, and there is no guarantee the source list will proceed or that security clearances will be granted in time. Before taking any action, verify the official notice and the MERX/DCC details, including deadlines, requirements, and whether the opportunity still applies when the actual solicitation is posted.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for major NORAD-related infrastructure at Forward Operating Locations in Inuvik and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It is not currently a bid solicitation, so businesses cannot submit a bid based on this notice alone. The potential work may include airfield upgrades; hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition and fuel facilities; accommodations; warehousing; offices; a fire hall; multipurpose buildings; indoor storage; and IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure. The projects are expected to use large, multi-year Modified Design-Build contracts—one for each site—with estimated values that may exceed $5 billion per location, subject to change and government approval. The anticipated procurement would likely favour large, experienced design-build teams or consortia with demonstrated northern design and construction experience, experience with similar facilities, and the ability to integrate design and construction. Evaluation may also consider logistics, climate and constructability planning, key personnel, Indigenous participation, and an interview process. Successful proponents are expected to develop an Indigenous Benefits Plan covering potential subcontracting, employment and training opportunities. Security clearances are expected to be required before contract award. This advance notice is intended partly to give interested design-builders time to begin the security-clearance sponsorship process, but there is no guarantee that the procurement will proceed or that clearances will be granted in time. The Inuvik solicitation is projected for release in fall 2026, and the Yellowknife solicitation in summer 2027, conditional on approval to proceed. The notice lists a closing date of November 30, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.; confirm what that date applies to because this notice states that it is not a bid call. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may potentially find opportunities as subcontractors, suppliers, Indigenous partners, or members of a larger design-build team, but the notice does not establish eligibility or guarantee subcontracting opportunities. Review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the Government tender source before taking action. Confirm the security requirements, procurement schedule, scope, qualification criteria, Indigenous participation obligations, submission instructions, and whether the anticipated contracts proceed.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not a request for proposals yet. Defence Construction Canada is signalling a very large upcoming opportunity related to NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure at Deployed Operating Base Goose Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. The notice says the future contract may exceed $5B and would use a Modified Design-Build delivery model, covering phases such as requirements validation, design, and construction. The scope described includes major airfield and base infrastructure work such as hangars, aprons, taxiways, runway rehabilitation, fuel and ammunition facilities, accommodations, warehousing, IT/cyber/logistics infrastructure, roads, and fire hall facilities. Security requirements will apply, and the notice suggests interested design-builders may need to start sponsorship/security clearance steps, but it also states there is no guarantee the contract will proceed or that clearances will be granted. From a Canadian business perspective, this potentially matches firms with experience in large-scale northern design-build construction, airport/airfield works, military or secure facilities, and teams that can manage both design and construction together. Indigenous participation, logistics, climate, and constructability in northern environments are expected to matter in the eventual RFP.Important: the official notice should be verified carefully on MERX before making any bid decisions, because this is only a preliminary notice and the final RFP details, evaluation criteria, and timelines may change.

Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

LETTRE D’INTÉRÊT : CENTRES RÉSIDENTIELS COMMUNAUTAIRES Il s'agit d'une republication de cet avis et non d'une modification. L'avis original est accessible à l'adresse suivante : https://canadabuys.canada.ca/fr/occasions-...

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice—not a request for proposals—for a potential major infrastructure contract at the Canadian Armed Forces’ Forward Operating Location in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Defence Construction Canada issued it to help potential design-build teams assess their interest and capacity, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship steps. The potential project may include airfield improvements; aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition storage; fuel facilities; accommodations; offices and planning facilities; warehouses; a fire hall; multi-purpose buildings; IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure; and related paving and site work. The preliminary estimates include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 4,000 m² of accommodations, a 60,000 m² apron and substantial additional building and asphalt areas. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation, concept development, planning, design and construction. The notice indicates that the total contract value may exceed $5 billion and that the work may be delivered over multiple years. The future procurement is expected to assess northern design and construction experience, comparable facilities experience, integrated design-build capability, key personnel, northern logistics and climate planning, constructability, Indigenous participation and team capability through interviews. Security requirements are expected, and the notice states that security clearances may need to be initiated through sponsorship. There is no guarantee that the contract will proceed, that the RFP will be released, or that clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines. The notice lists Ottawa, Ontario as the tender location, but the actual project site is Iqaluit, Nunavut. It shows a closing date of January 11, 2027, while the description says the formal RFP is projected for Fall 2027, subject to DND approval; these dates should be confirmed in the official notice. The description is also truncated, so important participation, Indigenous-content, security and submission details may be missing. This opportunity potentially matches large, experienced design-build organizations or consortiums with northern and defence-related infrastructure capabilities. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may wish to monitor the future solicitation for subcontracting, teaming or Indigenous-participation opportunities. Do not rely onthis summary when preparing a submission: review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the MERX source link, confirm all dates and requirements, and obtain professional advice where security or teaming arrangements are involved.

Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

This is an open Expression of Interest (EOI) from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) seeking Elders and Elder Helpers to provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. The listed tender location is Ottawa, Ontario, but the services appear intended for correctional institutions in the Prairies; confirm the actual service locations in the official notice. Services may include traditional teachings, counselling, healing support, ceremonies, spiritual services, cultural guidance, participation in case conferences, advice to CSC staff, and support for escorted temporary absences. Elder Helpers may assist Elders with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, offender supervision, teachings, reporting, and counselling when directed. An interested Elder or Elder Helper must appear to be recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and teachers as having relevant knowledge of traditional culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. The work would take place in a controlled federal correctional environment and may involve security procedures, institutional movement restrictions, reporting, and working with CSC staff and case-management teams. This notice is an EOI rather than a confirmed contract award or conventional bid opportunity. It appears relevant primarily to recognized Indigenous Elders, Elder Helpers, Indigenous communities, and Indigenous organizations able to provide these services. The closing date shown is January 13, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.; confirm the time zone and submission process. Review the complete Elder and Elder Helper statements of work and contact the CSC representative identified in the official tender materials before expressing interest. Verify all requirements, service locations, security obligations, contracting terms, compensation, and submission instructions directly in the official notice, as the information provided here is incomplete and no official source URL was supplied.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *National Capital Region (NCR), Gatineau, Quebec

This notice appears to be a PSPC update about an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for future CBSA radiation detection systems and support. The ITQ itself closed on October 16, 2025, and this notice mainly lists the qualified respondents for four streams: portal, vehicle-mounted, handheld, and personal radiation detectors. It does not look like a new bid opportunity to submit now; rather, it is an award/prequalification status notice for the qualified list. For a Canadian business owner, this may be relevant only if you are tracking future opportunities in this area or checking whether a named company is on the qualified respondent list. The notice says the work relates to the National Capital Region/Gatineau, Quebec. Please verify the official tender notice and any related procurement documents before taking any action, since details and future purchasing needs should be confirmed there.
