Alberta Seniors & Communities Housing Association - Request for Qualification - Supply of Energy ELECTRICITY AND/OR NATURAL GAS

The Alberta Seniors & Community Housing Association, in collaboration with Unified Energy 8760 Ltd., is seeking qualified energy retailers to participate in an aggregated procurement initiative for the future supply of firm, non-curtailable electricity and natural gas to its member organizations across Alberta. These members include seniors’ facilities, community housing providers, and other public and non-profit entities that rely on stable and reliable energy services. The process begins with a Request for Qualifications, wherein respondents must demonstrate their eligibility to advance to the subsequent Request for Quotes stage, where prequalified suppliers will be invited to submit executable pricing based on specific supply requirements outlined in the deliverables section. This initiative is designed to leverage collective purchasing power to secure cost-effective, long-term energy contracts tailored to the needs of a diverse portfolio of public and non-profit clients. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-03581, was posted on May 6, 2026, with responses due by June 1, 2026. The procurement is administered on behalf of the clients by ASCHA and 8760, who act as authorized representatives in managing the entire process. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Trevor Smereka, Contracting Authority, reachable via email at tsmereka@8760.ca. Although the notice references the Government of Canada as the agency name, the procurement is directly tied to Alberta-based organizations and operates within the provincial energy framework. Participation is open to eligible energy retailers capable of meeting the technical and contractual obligations for providing uninterrupted energy supply to the participating senior and community housing sectors.
