Canoe Procurement - Notice of Intent

The City of Cranbrook has filed a Notice of Intent to participate in procurements managed by the Canoe Procurement Group of Canada between May 8, 2026, and May 7, 2027, under solicitation number BC228983. This notice serves as an official declaration of intent to engage with upcoming tender opportunities listed on the Canoe Procurement Portal, Purchasing Connection, or BC Bid website, enabling the city to access competitive procurement opportunities across Canada. The response deadline for this notice is May 28, 2026, and it is categorized as a solicitation under federal procurement guidelines, though the agency acting is the City of Cranbrook. Primary contact for this notice is Melissa Wilhelm, Contracting Authority, reachable at melissa.wilhelm@cranbrook.ca. While the notice does not specify a particular good or service, it establishes the city's formal participation in the Canoe framework, allowing it to respond to future Requests for Proposals without initiating individual procurement processes. The procurement activities will be conducted under the broader Government of Canada procurement structure, with all relevant notices accessible via the Canoe portal or the Canada Buys platform. No set-aside provisions or NAICS codes are indicated at this stage.
