CLASS D HUMAN EXTERNAL CARGO HELICOPTER SERVICES FOR MANITOBA HYDRO

Manitoba Hydro has issued a public notice indicating its intention to award a contract for Class D Human External Cargo Helicopter Services, with solicitation number 043748, to a pre-identified vendor unless another qualified vendor submits a statement of capabilities by the deadline of June 17, 2026. This Advanced Contract Award Notice serves as an invitation for other vendors to demonstrate their capability to meet the required service specifications, but it is not a binding offer or a solicitation for formal bids.

The services are expected to be performed in Manitoba and are related to the transportation of personnel using external cargo helicopter operations under Class D standards. Interested parties must access bidding information through Merx.com, where fees may apply, and direct inquiries should be directed to Jhosselin Bakhat, Contracting Authority at Manitoba Hydro, via email or phone provided. The notice was posted on June 3, 2026, and is available through the Canada Buys portal.
