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 give potential design-build teams time to assess their interest, plan, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship process. The potential project could include airfield upgrades, aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways, ammunition storage, fuel facilities, accommodations, offices, warehouses, a fire hall, multipurpose buildings, IT/cyber infrastructure, and logistics facilities. Preliminary quantities include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 60,000 m² of apron, and other large building and paving areas. These figures may change. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation and planning, design, and construction. The notice indicates one contract for the site, with a potential total value exceeding $5 billion. The opportunity appears aimed primarily at a large, integrated design-builder or consortium with substantial experience in northern construction, comparable infrastructure, logistics, climate-related challenges, and Indigenous participation. Security requirements are expected, and clearance sponsorship may be necessary; clearance approval and timing are not guaranteed. The notice says the potential RFP is projected for fall 2027, subject to DND approval. The record lists a closing date of January 11, 2027, at 2:00 p.m., but because this is an advance notice and the stated RFP timing is later, the dates and any response requirements should be confirmed carefully in the official notice. A business considering this opportunity may wish to assess its northern and remote-project experience, design-build capacity, comparable military or complex industrial work, key personnel, security-clearance requirements, consortium or subcontracting options, logistics capabilities, and approach to Indigenous participation. This notice does not confirm that a contract will proceed or that any particular company will be eligible or successful.

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

This open Expression of Interest (EOI) is from Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) for Elders and Elder Helpers to provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in federal correctional institutions in the Prairies Region. The work may include traditional teachings, counselling, ceremonies, healing support, cultural guidance, participation in case conferences, and support for escorted temporary absences. Elder Helpers may assist Elders with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, offender supervision, teachings, counselling, and reports. The opportunity appears intended for individuals who are recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and traditional teachers as having appropriate knowledge of Indigenous culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. CSC may also work with First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous organizations. Services would take place in a controlled federal correctional environment and may involve security procedures, staff coordination, and institutional access requirements. The EOI is listed as open and closes January 13, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. The listing shows Canada/Ottawa, Ontario, but the services described are for CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. This appears to be an invitation for interested Elders and Elder Helpers to contact CSC, rather than a standard competitive tender with a stated purchase price or guaranteed contract. The provided listing does not include a contact name or email, so those details should be confirmed in the official notice. Review the official statement-of-work documents before responding: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/84482/elder-helper-sow-eng.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/84482/elders-sow-en-2020-02-03.pdf. Verify the closing time, applicable institution locations, recognition and experience requirements, security/access procedures, rates or contracting terms, response instructions, and the correct CSC contact directly in the official tender notice. This summary does not determine whether any individual or organization qualifies.

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.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada *Nova Scotia *New Brunswick *Prince Edward Island *Newfoundland and Labrador, Gatineau, Quebec

PSPC is seeking bus rental and charter services for federal departments and agencies in Atlantic Canada—Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador—on an “as and when requested” basis. The work is expected to run from contract issuance through April 30, 2027. The requested vehicles may include various sizes of highway-style cruisers and school or activity buses, with or without drivers. Services would transport military personnel, civilians, cadets, visitors, and other government or non-government personnel as operational needs arise. The tender is listed as open and closes January 31, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. The listing also references Gatineau, Quebec, and identifies the province as Quebec, so the precise service locations should be confirmed in the official solicitation. A transportation company may find this potentially relevant if it can provide the required bus types and either vehicle-only rentals or charter services with drivers in the specified regions. The available information does not confirm detailed requirements such as licensing, insurance, safety standards, fleet age, pricing structure, or contract conditions. Review the complete official tender and all attachments before deciding whether to bid. Confirm the geographic scope, mandatory qualifications, operating requirements, submission instructions, andclosing time through the official source: https://discovery.ariba.com/rfx/19419533?extsite=MTk0MTk1Mz NfQU4wMTQ4NDA1MDk5Mg==.

Shared Services Canada (SSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

Shared Services Canada (SSC) has opened an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for Canadian sovereign cloud service providers. The process is intended to create a list of vendors that may be invited to participate in future sovereign cloud procurements. It is not a competitive contract opportunity and does not itself result in a contract or purchase commitment. The opportunity appears potentially relevant to businesses that provide cloud infrastructure, hosting, security, data-residency, or related services and can demonstrate Canadian ownership and control, including control by any parent companies. Respondents must also submit a value proposition describing their sovereign cloud offering. The full ITQ sets out the detailed eligibility requirements, forms, supporting documents, and submission instructions. The listed closing time is January 31, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. The first intake period has closed, but a new qualification intake period is stated to be open. SSC has also issued amendments, webinar materials, and updated questions and answers, which should be reviewed before preparing a response. SSC has invoked the National Security Exception for all phases of the process, meaning the procurement is exempt from Canada’s trade agreements. The qualification may be a mandatory entry point for participating in current or future sovereign cloud procurement opportunities, but qualification would not guarantee an invitation, contract, or future work. Before responding, review the latest ITQ and all amendments and Q&A documents on the official Canada Buys notice. Confirm the current deadline, submission method, ownership and control requirements, technical expectations, security obligations, and required evidence directly against the official tender documents.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) about potential construction, maintenance, professional-service, and related opportunities at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. It is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. The notice is intended to give businesses time to assess their interest and prepare for future opportunities. There is no guarantee that the projects will proceed, that a particular contract will be issued, or that security clearances will be granted. Potential procurement routes include: - Open tenders or RFPs advertised through MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. - The Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for 14Wing Greenwood: AR26SLGW_86028. - Quick Response Tender source lists for commercial general contracting (GW26SL02), residential general contracting (GW26SL03), and mechanical contracting (GW26SL04). - Other source lists, standing offers, and standing offer agreements for construction, professional, environmental, architectural, engineering, and related services. Some future projects may involve security requirements, and some may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Source-list opportunities may be invitation-only, and a MERX account is required to apply to the listed MERX source lists. The notice shows a closing date of March 31, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; this appears to be the closing date for the advance notice or related process, not necessarily a deadline to bid on a specific construction contract. The listed location is Bedford, Nova Scotia, while the projects described are at 14 Wing Greenwood; this should be confirmed in the official notice. A potentially interested business should review the complete MERX notice and attachments, determine whether the relevant source-list application windows are still open, assess any insurance, experience, bonding, licensing, Indigenous-business, and security-clearance requirements, and monitor future solicitations. Verify all dates, scope, eligibility conditions, security procedures, and submission instructions in the official tender notice before taking action or submitting anything.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This tender appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for upcoming work at 5 Wing Goose Bay in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is not a bid solicitation yet, so there is no immediate request for pricing or proposals. The notice is mainly meant to alert contractors and consultants to prepare for future opportunities in base operations, housing agency, and real property work. A few points stand out: - Future opportunities may be tendered through MERX, Canada Buys, source lists, standing offers, or standing offer agreements. - Some work may require security clearances, and the notice says sponsorship for clearances may be needed in advance. - Some projects may be set aside for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). - The Open Construction Source List for 5 Wing Goose Bay is currently open on MERX, and interested contractors are invited to apply. For a Canadian business owner, this looks potentially relevant if you do construction, consulting, trades, environmental, or related services and can work on federal defence-related projects in Labrador. The key next step would be to review the official MERX notice and any attached document listing the anticipated projects, because the future opportunities, timelines, security requirements, and eligibility conditions are not fully confirmed here. Please verify the official notice carefully before taking any action or preparing a bid.
