NWT Net-Zero Ready Building Regulations

The Government of the Northwest Territories, through Procurement Shared Services, is seeking proposals to evaluate the technical, economic, and legislative feasibility of adopting northern-specific building and energy codes designed to support net-zero ready buildings. This initiative aims to align infrastructure development in the Northwest Territories with climate goals and energy efficiency standards suited to the region’s unique environmental and operational conditions. Proposals must address the practicality of implementing such codes, including cost-benefit analysis, regulatory alignment, workforce readiness, and adaptation to extreme climatic factors inherent to northern communities. Solicitation EV9261 was posted on July 24, 2026, with responses due by August 13, 2026. All submissions must be directed to the Contract Administrator at psstenders@gov.nt.ca or by phone at 867-767-9044. The work is to be performed within the Northwest Territories, and bidders are expected to review all posted documents and any subsequent addenda via the official contracts portal. This procurement does not specify a set-aside category, and proposals are open to all qualified respondents, with selection based on demonstrated expertise in building code development, northern infrastructure challenges, and energy modeling under Arctic or sub-Arctic conditions.
