Eskasoni First Nation Pre-Selection of a Membrane Bioreactor Vendor Eskasoni WWTF Upgrade and Expans

The Atlantic First Nations Water Authority is inviting qualified suppliers to prequalify for the supply, installation, and commissioning of a Membrane Bioreactor system to support the upgrade and expansion of the Eskasoni First Nation Wastewater Treatment Facility. The selected proponent must demonstrate proven experience in designing and delivering MBR systems for wastewater treatment, with the ability to oversee all phases of the project including procurement, delivery, installation supervision, and final commissioning to meet technical and regulatory requirements. This is a pre-selection process aimed at identifying capable vendors rather than awarding a contract immediately, and proposals must be submitted by June 25, 2026. All official tender documents, including updates and addenda, are available exclusively through the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal under solicitation number F-23-EK-01, as notices on CanadaBuys may not reflect the latest changes. There is no cost to access the documents, though third-party platform registration or fees may be required to view or submit responses. The contract falls under NAICS code 221320 for wastewater treatment and is managed by the Atlantic First Nations Water Authority, a federally recognized entity supporting Indigenous water infrastructure. The point of contact for procurement inquiries is procurement@afnwa.ca, and all communications must be directed through this channel. The project is located in Eskasoni First Nation and is part of broader efforts to improve water and wastewater services within First Nations communities. Proponents are expected to comply with all applicable standards and demonstrate capacity to work within the unique cultural and operational context of the community. No set-aside conditions are specified, and responses must be submitted via the designated portal by the stated deadline to be considered.
