DAL-NOTICE-2026

Dalhousie University has issued a Notice of Participation for the 2026 calendar year, indicating its intent to utilize various group buying organizations for procurements. These include the Province of Nova Scotia, Public Services and Procurement Canada, Interuniversity Services Inc., Kinetic GPO, Canoe GPO, and other entities that comply with the Canadian Free Trade Agreement. This notice is not a public competition or a direct request for proposals, but rather an advisory to potential suppliers regarding the university's procurement strategy. The solicitation, identified as DAL-NOTICE-2026, remains open for responses until December 31, 2026. Interested parties are advised to consult the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal for the most current tender documents and addenda, as notices on CanadaBuys may not reflect all amendments. While there is no cost to acquire documents, some third-party hosting platforms may require registration or fees for document review and submission. Primary inquiries should be directed to Patrick Greene at the university's procurement office.
