Catering services - May 25 to August 21, 2026, at the Longue-Pointe Garrison.

The Government of Canada, through the Department of National Defence, is soliciting bids for catering services at the Longue-Pointe Garrison in Montréal-Est, Québec, to support approximately 37 personnel from May 25 to August 21, 2026. The contractor must provide three meals per day, Monday through Friday, including all food and non-food items necessary for meal preparation and service, with daily delivery required at the designated location. The contract does not involve security clearances, key personnel mandates, or optional extensions, and subcontracting requires prior written approval. All offers must be submitted electronically through the SAP Business Network by the deadline of May 21, 2026, at 14:00 Eastern Time, and failure to comply with submission protocols will result in automatic rejection. Proposals must be structured into three distinct sections: technical, financial, and submission forms, including mandatory declarations of compliance with Canada’s Code of Conduct for Procurement, employment equity under the Federal Contractors Program, and truthfulness of all submitted information. No U.S.-style entity identifiers or socioeconomic designations are required, but offerors must affirm they are not suspended or ineligible to contract with the Canadian government, and any breach of integrity or conflict of interest will lead to disqualification. Award will be determined using a trade-off methodology, weighting technical merit at 40 percent and price at 60 percent, with technical evaluation focusing on adaptability to dietary needs, meal portion consistency, availability of equipment and personnel, past performance, and overall service quality. Pricing must be accurate, complete, and reasonable, with financial offers submitted in the prescribed format, though no unit prices or estimated contract value are currently provided in the solicitation. Canada retains the right to inspect and accept all services at the performance site, and contractors must adhere to industry-standard quality assurance practices and contractual specifications. Records related to the contract must be retained for seven years following final payment and made available for audit. The contracting officer, Marie-Josée Lapierre, serves as the primary point of contact, and while no contracting officer’s representative is named, invoices must be submitted to the designated payment office with the appropriate accounting codes, though exact remittance details and invoicing platforms are not specified in the solicitation.
