Online Questionnaire Management Platform
Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada (ATSSC)
This is an open Request for Information (RFI), not necessarily a contract opportunity, from the Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada (ATSSC), supporting the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT). Responses are due October 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with the work associated with the National Capital Region/Ottawa, Ontario. The ATSSC is seeking information about commercially available, secure online platforms for managing complex questionnaires used in trade-remedy investigations. The platform would potentially need to support questionnaire creation, publication and distribution, secure access for Canadian and international respondents, data collection and validation, storage, analysis, reporting, workflow automation, and email communications. A potentially relevant solution would likely need to support both internal and external users and handle sensitive federal information classified as Protected B. Areas of interest include Canadian data residency, strong authentication and access controls, audit logs, data integrity, accessibility, secure hosting, and compliance with applicable Government of Canada cloud and security requirements. Vendors may also be asked about implementation, functionality, security controls, and hosting models. This opportunity may be relevant to Canadian businesses that provide secure survey or questionnaire-management software, government-grade SaaS platforms, data-management solutions, workflow tools, or related implementation and security services. However, the notice is seeking market information, so it may not lead directly to a purchase or procurement process, and no company should assume it qualifies based on this summary. The tender record includes the RFI document, questions to industry, an addendum with questions and answers, and several sample questionnaire/spreadsheet files. Review those materials carefully—particularly the response instructions, technical and security requirements, submission method, and any changes in the addendum—before responding. Verify the closing date, time, eligibility or participation conditions, and all requirements in the official Canada Buys notice before submitting information. The supplied record does not include a direct official-source URL, so locate and confirm the current notice on Canada Buys.
Security Investigations and Threat and Risk Assessments
Courts Administration Service (CAS)
The Courts Administration Service (CAS) is seeking a security firm to conduct Threat and Risk Assessments (TRAs) and administrative security investigations when needed. The work would support departmental security programs, operational security risk management, personnel security, and Government of Canada security policies. This opportunity appears restricted to organizations that already hold the E60ZT-18TSPS Supply Arrangement, qualified under Tier 1 in the National Capital Region at level 2 (intermediate) or level 3 (senior), and are approved for Category 3.6 – Risk Management Specialist. The contractor would also need the appropriate organizational security clearance. Businesses that do not meet these conditions may not be eligible to bid, but the official notice should be checked for the precise requirements. The work is associated with the National Capital Region, including Ottawa, Ontario. The tender is open and is scheduled to close on November 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice is identified as 5x001-26-0135. Before deciding whether to pursue it, review the official tender notice and all referenced Supply Arrangement, security-clearance, submission, and evaluation requirements.Official document: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/110200/5x001-26-0135---notice-of-proposed-procurement-%28npp.pdf
Sbips Professional Cyber Security Evaluation Services
Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC)
This is an open but highly restricted Government of Canada opportunity from the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) for enterprise-level cybersecurity evaluation services. The work appears to involve assessing FCAC’s security controls using ITSG-33 Annex 3A and a harmonized threat and risk assessment methodology, collecting evidence, identifying gaps, determining residual risks, and preparing a prioritized remediation plan. The supplier must also produce a separate, executive-level report based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 that could be shared externally without revealing sensitive technical weaknesses. The requirement is for one contract, with an estimated level of effort of 164 days and a contract period ending March 31, 2027. The work is associated with the National Capital Region and requires personnel and corporate security clearances at the Reliability/DOS – Reliability level. Documents may be submitted in either official language.Important restriction: FCAC states that only the 15 Tier 1 suppliers already qualified under the SBIPS Supply Arrangement for the Security Management stream in the National Capital Region may bid. It says no additional suppliers will be added to this solicitation. These named suppliers include major consulting and cybersecurity firms such as Accenture, CGI, Deloitte, IBM, KPMG, OPTIV, Bell, TPG Technology Consulting, and others. There is a dateinconsistency in the provided information: the tender record lists a closing date of November 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., while the notice text states October 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Ottawa time. The RFP documents are being distributed directly by FCAC to invited SBIPS holders, and Canada Buys is not responsible for distributing them. Businesses should confirm their invitation status, the applicable deadline, mandatory qualifications, security requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions directly with FCAC and the official tender notice before preparing or submitting a bid. This opportunity potentially matches only organizations that meet the stated SBIPS holder and stream requirements.

GUARD SERVICES NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION (NRC)
Shared Services Canada (SSC)
Shared Services Canada appears to be seeking a contractor for professional security guard services at various federal facilities in the National Capital Region, including Ottawa, Ontario, and Gatineau, Quebec. The work may include access control, visitor registration, escorts, patrols, alarm monitoring and response, security operations centre and CCTV monitoring, reception/security desk coverage, static and mobile guards, identification card services, incident reporting, emergency response support, and supervision. The tender is currently listed as open and is expected to result in one contract with an initial two-year term, plus five one-year extension options. The stated closing date is November 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. However, the official tender notice should be checked to confirm the applicable time zone, submission method, mandatory requirements, certifications, licensing, staffing standards, insurance, security clearances, site requirements, and evaluation process. This opportunity may be relevant to Canadian security companies capable of operating across the NCR and potentially in both Ontario and Quebec. The description alone does not establish whether a particular business can bid or meet the requirements. Review the four attached RFP documents carefully and verify all details on the official Canada Buys notice before preparing or submitting a bid.
Duty Belt Systems
Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS)
The Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) appears to be seeking suppliers for duty belt systems through a Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA), reference 26-2422.

The full documents may contain important requirements such as product specifications, accepted standards, pricing, security or delivery conditions, supplier eligibility, and submission instructions. This notice alone does not establish whether a business qualifies or can meet the requirements. Verify the official MERX solicitation and any amendments directly before preparing or submitting a response; PPS states it is not responsible for notices or attachments obtained only through third-party distributors.
