Federal tender deadline extended for Eureka weather-station soil cleanup work
Environment and Climate Change Canada has amended an open request for proposals for phytoremediation work at the Eureka High Arctic Weather Station on Ellesmere Island. The CanadaBuys listing now shows a closing date of Oct. 15, 2026, replacing the earlier Oct. 1 deadline. The procurement is not a contract award or confirmation that work has begun. Source↗
What happened
The federal department amended solicitation 5000094879, reference cb-405-63428929, on Sept. 22. CanadaBuys lists the opportunity as open and closing Oct. 15, 2026. It seeks a contractor for implementation, monitoring and assessment of plant-based remediation at the Eureka High Arctic Weather Station in Nunavut.
Why it matters
The work concerns petroleum-hydrocarbon-affected soil at a remote federal facility on Ellesmere Island. The procurement may matter to environmental-remediation firms and northern service providers. Canada has not disclosed an estimated contract value in the public listing.
What happens next
Suppliers have until Oct. 15, 2026 to submit proposals under the amended notice. The successful contractor would be expected to complete the work no later than March 31, 2029. Canada has not announced an award.
Important details
Buyer: Department of the Environment (Environment and Climate Change Canada). Solicitation number: 5000094879. CanadaBuys reference: cb-405-63428929.
