The contract covers two distinct geographic regions: Region A, including the Dorchester Complex and Atlantic Institution in New Brunswick, and Region B, encompassing Springhill Institution and the Nova Institution for Women in Nova Scotia. Up to two separate contracts may be awarded, one for each region, and bidders may submit proposals for one or both regions, provided they can adequately resource all sites within their chosen regions.
