Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada is seeking proposals from design-build teams for the design and construction of up to seven new CAT II accommodation buildings at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, New Brunswick. The opportunity uses a modified design-build approach and has an estimated value of approximately $133 million. The work appears relevant to major construction firms and multidisciplinary design-build teams with capabilities in architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering, commissioning, project management, construction supervision, and Indigenous relations coordination. The tender also lists hourly-rate classifications for various design and project personnel. The selected contractor will be required to hold a valid Designated Organization Screening (DOS) issued through PSPC’s Contract Security Program. Security requirements are identified in Amendment No. 1, so proponents should review that amendment and all RFP documents carefully. Proposals must be submitted through the MERX Electronic Bidding System by October 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The listing identifies Ottawa, Ontario, but the project description places the work at 5 CDSB Gagetown in Oromocto, New Brunswick; this should be confirmed in the official tender documents. Questions must be sent only to the designated point of contact in the notice, as contacting others could create a risk of disqualification. Before deciding whether to bid, review the complete official MERX notice, RFP, amendments, security requirements, submission instructions, mandatory experience and team requirements, pricing schedules, and any bonding or insurance provisions. This summary does not determine whether your business qualifies, and all details should be verified against the official tender notice before submitting a proposal: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4056245952/abstract?language=EN
