RFP-003854-ECS and Default Real Estate Services

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is soliciting proposals under RFP-003854 for a nationwide contract to deliver legal, property management, and marketing, sales, and conveyancing services under the Enhanced Claim Service Model and Default Real Estate programs. The contract will be awarded on a non-exclusive basis for an initial three-year term, with an option to extend for up to two additional years, for a maximum potential duration of five years. Proposals must be submitted electronically by August 5, 2026, via the EBID system to EBID@cmhc-schl.gc.ca with the specified subject line, and only Word and PDF files are accepted; compressed files are prohibited. The work requires comprehensive management of CMHC’s real estate assets, including fee simple, leasehold, tenanted, and mobile homes, with contractors expected to engage subcontractors and comply with provincial and federal licensing, insurance, and regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions in Canada. Contractors must meet stringent security and data protection mandates, including holding Government of Canada Reliability or Secret security clearances for all personnel, ensuring that Protected A/B data remains within Canadian data centers, and adhering to ISO/IEC 27001 and other government cyber standards such as ITSG-33 and CSEA 3416. All proposals must include a completed Privacy Questionnaire and a Compliance Questionnaire covering legal capacity, integrity, conflict of interest, and insurance coverage. Evaluation proceeds in four stages: mandatory technical compliance checks, followed by technical ratings across data management, technology and security, and compliance, then pricing review, and finally a presentation by the top two contenders. There are no disclosed numerical weights, and award will be based on a trade-off approach prioritizing technical merit over lowest price. Invoices must be submitted electronically to accountspayable@cmhc-schl.gc.ca with PO references and supported by direct deposit information via void cheque. No physical packaging, labeling, or FOB terms apply; all requirements focus on digital security, data sovereignty, and regulatory adherence. No contract value, line items, or appropriation codes are disclosed, and the contract administration does not list named CORs, COTRs, or PCOs.
