Courier Services (Domestic, Transborder, International) for U of R, U of S and SK Poly

The University of Regina, University of Saskatchewan, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic are seeking a preferred vendor to provide comprehensive courier services covering domestic, transborder, and international destinations, including the handling and transportation of Dangerous Goods. The contract will not include customs brokerage services, as incoming transborder and international shipments requiring customs clearance must be processed through each institute’s designated customs broker, to be identified after contract award. The solicitation, identified as SK-UR-96224-01-26, is open for proposals with a submission deadline of June 19, 2026, and is issued under the NAICS code 492110 for couriers and express delivery services. Proposals must be submitted through the Canada Buys portal, and inquiries should be directed to Amber Gunnlaugson, Contracting Authority at the University of Regina. The Institutes are committed to advancing inclusion and economic opportunity for Indigenous peoples and businesses, and are actively seeking vendors who demonstrate a genuine commitment to partnering with Indigenous communities as part of their service delivery model. This initiative aligns with the Saskatchewan Advanced Education Collaborative’s broader mission to foster workforce development and community vitality through equitable economic participation. Vendors are encouraged to highlight their engagement with Indigenous communities, as this will be a significant consideration in the evaluation of proposals. The contract is expected to support the courier needs of all three institutions across Saskatchewan and beyond, with performance focused on reliability, safety, compliance, and social impact.
