Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario
This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for potential construction, maintenance, modernization, professional-services, and housing-related opportunities in the National Capital Region, including Ottawa and potentially Gatineau. The work may involve Real Property Operations Group facilities and Canadian Forces Housing Agency residential housing. This notice is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. It is intended to give contractors and consultants early information so they can assess their capacity, monitor future tenders, and begin any applicable security-clearance or sponsorship steps. There is no guarantee that the listed projects will proceed, receive approval, or be released on the anticipated schedule. Future opportunities may be issued through open tenders or RFPs on MERX or Canada Buys, the Open Construction Source List, source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. The notice specifically refers to the Open Construction Source List for Ottawa/Gatineau, identified as OCSL No. CR26SLWA_86073, which interested contractors may review on MERX. A MERX account is reportedly required to apply to that source list. Some future contracts may have security requirements, and bidders may need to hold or obtain the required clearances before contract award. Certain projects may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. The anticipated project list and security details are in a document available through MERX, but that document should be reviewed directly because project scope, timing, eligibility, and requirements may differ by opportunity. The notice shows an open status and a closing date of March 31, 2029 at 2:00 p.m. However, this date should not be treated as a bid deadline for a specific project. A business potentially interested in this program should monitor MERX and Canada Buys, review the attached project list, assess its construction or consulting capacity, and investigate security-clearance requirements where relevant. Before taking action or submitting any future bid, verify all details in the official tender notice and the applicable solicitation documents. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
