Roof Replacements – BC18 and BC24 – Beaver Creek Institution - Minimum
Solicitation # 21443-27-5425701
Correctional Service Canada is seeking a qualified contractor to replace the aging asphalt shingle roofs on Buildings BC18 (Unit 2) and BC24 (Unit 3) at Beaver Creek Institution in Gravenhurst, Ontario, with a durable standing seam metal roofing system designed to enhance structural integrity, improve weather resistance, and reduce long-term maintenance. The work requires the complete removal of the existing roof, inspection and repair of the roof deck as necessary, installation of a premium-grade synthetic underlayment with a minimum weight of 200 g/m², and the application of a 24-gauge, hot-dipped zinc-coated steel snap-lock standing seam system with a factory-applied color finish and hidden clip fastening. All materials must comply with manufacturer specifications and industry standards for water resistance, UV stability, and tear strength. A full perimeter of 2-inch drip edge, color-matched vents, flashing, transitions, and sealants must be installed, along with continuous snow guards across all roof edges to prevent uncontrolled snow and ice shedding. The contractor must ensure all workers are certified in working at heights and provide their own equipment for elevated tasks. All work must be completed by November 30, 2026, with the building occupied during construction, requiring strict protection of entrances and uninterrupted access to emergency exits. The contractor must submit a detailed project schedule, a site-specific health and safety plan, and proof of tuberculosis testing for all personnel, as well as maintain active workers’ compensation coverage and provide a minimum two-year transferable labor warranty on the underlayment installation. Proposals must demonstrate completion of at least three similar standing seam roofing projects and hold a valid Ontario business license with current liability insurance. Evaluation is strictly based on a lowest price technically acceptable model, with non-compliance resulting in automatic rejection. The contract mandates adherence to Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal codes, including the National Building Code and Canada Labour Code, and requires full compliance with anti-forced labor provisions and reciprocal procurement policies. All bids must be submitted via email to the contracting authority by August 20, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. local time, with a maximum file size of 10 MB and only PDF or Word formats permitted. Access to the facility requires escorting by CSC personnel at all times, and failure to meet any certification or compliance condition constitutes grounds for contract termination.

Family Services Program
Solicitation # 21280-26-5388099
The Correctional Service of Canada is seeking to award a contract under an Advanced Contract Award Notice to the John Howard Society of Newfoundland and Labrador for the delivery of a Family Services Program aimed at supporting families of incarcerated inmates from Newfoundland and Labrador who are held in federal institutions in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The goal is to mitigate the negative impacts of geographic separation by enabling and facilitating family visits through comprehensive logistical, emotional, and procedural support. Over a 60-working-day period per contract term, the supplier must organize and fund travel and accommodation for family members, coordinate security clearances with federal institutions, accompany participants during visits, provide non-clinical crisis intervention to manage emotional distress, observe interactions for safety concerns, and conduct thorough post-visit follow-ups. All services must be delivered in English, in alignment with strict security protocols, including compliance with PROTECTED B classification standards, requiring the supplier to hold a valid Designated Organization Screening and ensure all personnel have Reliability Status clearance. Printed materials must adhere to sustainability standards, and all deliverables must be submitted within ten working days after each visit, including detailed reports and full financial accounting in accordance with Treasury Board guidelines. The contract is open for submission of statements of capabilities from other suppliers until August 25, 2026, though the John Howard Society of Newfoundland and Labrador is the pre-identified supplier due to the limited capacity within the region to meet the specialized needs of this program. Potential bidders must demonstrate at least four years of direct experience in facilitating family visits in correctional settings, including security coordination, travel logistics, crisis intervention, and post-visit support, alongside a minimum two-year college diploma in a human sciences field such as social work, psychology, or criminology. The contract, valued at approximately $179,200 plus GST/HST, runs until May 31, 2027, with an option to extend for three additional one-year periods. The procurement is exempt from trade agreements, Indigenous business set-asides, and comprehensive land claims agreements, and relies on the government regulation exception for sole-source contracting due to the absence of qualified alternatives. All inquiries and submissions must be directed to Jolaine Amos of Correctional Service Canada.

Elder Services
Solicitation # 21421-31-5460616 and 21422-28-5470025
The Correctional Service of Canada is seeking to award contracts for Elder services in the Ontario Region to support the cultural and spiritual needs of Indigenous offenders, with two pre-identified suppliers, Jason Mazerolle and Paula Potts, proposed for roles lasting seven months from September 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, with options to extend for up to four and one additional year respectively. The total estimated cost for both contracts combined is $639,907.78 excluding GST/HST. Elders are required to deliver culturally grounded teachings, counseling, and traditional ceremonies to promote healing and reintegration, while also advising institutional staff on protocols surrounding spiritual practices, traditional medicines, and sacred items. They must participate in case management conferences, provide progress updates to correctional teams, and may be called upon for escorted temporary absences for ceremonial purposes. All work must be performed in English within Ontario, with travel authorized and reimbursed at cost. Personnel must hold a valid RELIABILITY STATUS clearance from CSC, and no PROTECTED information may be removed from work sites. This procurement is set aside exclusively for Indigenous suppliers under the Government’s Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, though it excludes individual Elders from this restriction. Suppliers must demonstrate community recognition as an Elder and have at least five years of recent experience delivering spiritual and cultural services, including conducting healing ceremonies and guiding both offenders and staff on traditional protocols. A statement of capabilities must be submitted by August 21, 2026, and will be reviewed by a circle of existing CSC-contracted Elders to validate qualifications. No trade agreements apply, and the government has invoked an exception allowing sole-source selection due to the limited number of individuals qualified to provide these essential services. Reporting is required monthly via standardized summaries, and all printing must adhere to sustainability standards with minimum 30% recycled content. Intellectual property rights are not addressed, as the services are based on traditional knowledge shared in practice, not proprietary material.
