Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) has published an Advance Procurement Notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for a potential standing offer covering Energy Performance Contract (EPC) procurement and financial advisory services in Ottawa, Ontario. The future work may involve reviewing procurement and financial terms, advising on RFP evaluation criteria, responding to financial questions from proponents, assessing proponents’ financial capacity, reviewing financial proposals, and supporting contract negotiations. Services would be provided on an “as and when required” basis. DCC anticipates selecting one consultant able to deliver services in both English and French. The estimated value is approximately $500,000 over an initial two-year period, with possible extensions of up to two additional one-year periods and a potential increase of $300,000, for an estimated maximum value of about $800,000 over four years. These amounts and timelines are estimates and are conditional on funding approval; DCC states there is no guarantee that the standing offer will proceed. The anticipated solicitation posting is January 2027. The APN is shown as closing January 4, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. The APN number is EPFS2601. Security requirements are expected. The anticipated clearance is Designated Organization Screening (DOS). Consultants that do not already hold the required clearance may be able to seek sponsorship through DCC’s Industrial Security Program, but sponsorship and clearance approval are not guaranteed and may take time. Interested businesses should review DCC’s security requirements and consider starting the process early if appropriate. This notice may be relevant to Canadian consulting, procurement-advisory, financial-advisory, and EPC-experienced firms, particularly those able to support both official languages and meet federal security requirements. It does not confirm that any particular business is eligible or will be successful. Before taking action or preparing a bid, verify the complete official notice, sponsorship instructions, eligibility conditions, security requirements, dates, values, and any later solicitation documents on MERX and DCC’s official website: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4178025905/abstract?language=EN.
