Manitoba Hydro intends to award a contract for Class D Human External Cargo Helicopter Services, as indicated by the Advanced Contract Award Notice (ACAN) with solicitation number 043748. This notice serves to inform potential vendors that a pre-identified supplier is the intended contractor, but it also provides an opportunity for other interested vendors to submit statements of capabilities by the deadline of June 17, 2026. If no qualified responses are received by that date, Manitoba Hydro may proceed with awarding the contract to the pre-identified vendor. The notice clarifies that this is not a legal offer but an invitation to provide relevant information. Organizations interested in bidding can access detailed solicitation documents through the Merx website, where applicable fees may apply. The contract is managed by Jhosselin Bakhat, the Procurement Team Lead for Manitoba Hydro, who can be contacted directly for further information. The contract relates to a government procurement involving specialized helicopter services intended to support Manitoba Hydro's operations, with no specified geographical restrictions for performance detailed. This process allows Manitoba Hydro to ensure competitive sourcing while maintaining readiness to move forward with a selected vendor if no competitive bids are received.
