Niagara EMS Hub Development

The Niagara Region is seeking market information through Expression of Interest 2026-EOI-190 for the development of a purpose-built Niagara Emergency Medical Services (NEMS) Hub. The project involves securing a suitable site, constructing a multi-function facility, and leasing the completed hub to the Region under a long-term arrangement. The intended facility is expected to have a preliminary gross floor area between 120,000 and 145,000 square feet and must include administrative offices, EMS dispatch, warehouse storage, training areas, locker and shower facilities, and a fleet garage with wash bays. The Region is also gathering information regarding optional operations and maintenance services to support a flexible service-delivery model. This EOI is strictly for information-gathering purposes and does not constitute a formal tender, request for proposal, or commitment to award a contract. Respondents must demonstrate the financial capacity to acquire land, fund design and construction until lease commencement, and access suitable long-term financing. Submissions are required to provide anticipated project timelines, comparable project experience, and feedback on risk allocation and delivery models. All submissions are subject to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, and respondents must specifically identify any proprietary or commercially sensitive information.
