RFSQ - Construction Trades and Technical Services (Supply Arrangement)

The Province of Nova Scotia, through the Department of Public Works, is inviting qualified suppliers to apply for pre-qualification under a Request for Supplier Qualifications to provide Construction Trades and Technical Services across four geographic zones: Western, Northern, Eastern, and Central. This initiative is structured into two main categories—Construction Trades (Category A) and Technical Services (Category B)—each encompassing multiple sub-categories of service. The goal is to establish a pool of pre-qualified respondents eligible to deliver services on projects valued under $500,000, which may include multi-phased initiatives spanning one or both categories. Supplier qualification will be determined through an evaluation process outlined in the RFSQ, and successful respondents will be positioned to receive work orders as needs arise without further competitive bidding for eligible projects. The solicitation is open for submissions until June 23, 2026, with all necessary documentation and updates available exclusively on the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal, as tender notices on CanadaBuys may not reflect the most current revisions. Third-party platform registration or fees may be required to access or submit responses. The primary point of contact for the solicitation is Sabrina McGee, Contracting Authority, reachable via email at ptenders@novascotia.ca or phone at 902-424-3333. The solicitation number is Doc3134303655, and there are no fees for acquiring documents. Although the tender is listed on CanadaBuys, participants must consult the provincial portal for official and updated materials. The contract does not specify a fixed term, and duration details are contained within the full tender documents. The Province emphasizes that compliance with submission requirements and adherence to the specified evaluation criteria are essential for qualification, and participation does not guarantee contract awards. Eligibility is contingent upon meeting the qualifications and capabilities outlined in Appendix B, and all respondents are responsible for ensuring their submissions are complete and timely.
