Epcor - Negotiated Request for Proposal - Security Guard Services

EPCOR is seeking qualified providers to deliver comprehensive security guard services across its facilities in Canada, with primary operations centered in the Edmonton region and potential expansion into the United States. The contract requires on-site security personnel to maintain a secure environment for staff and contractors, including performing mobile patrols and perimeter inspections to detect and report anomalies that could threaten safety or property. Security teams must also manage controlled access to facilities and respond to alarms within pre-established time frames, while also serving as Security Incident Responders to address emergent threats. These duties are critical to ensuring the integrity and safety of EPCOR’s operational sites. In addition to on-site services, the contract requires a fully operational 24x7x365 monitoring center with trained personnel to provide continuous surveillance and response capabilities. This center must support real-time communication with field security teams and coordinate rapid incident resolution. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-04145, was posted on June 1, 2026, with responses due by June 30, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 561612 for security services. The contracting authority is Osric Dhoubhadel, and the place of performance is in Alberta, with potential for services to extend beyond Canada. Bidders must demonstrate the ability to meet stringent operational demands and maintain a presence aligned with EPCOR’s security priorities.
