RCMP reissues Iqaluit headquarters elevator-maintenance tender, with Inuit benefits worth 35% of evaluation
The RCMP has opened a new request for proposals—solicitation M5000-25-05409/B—for elevator maintenance at its Iqaluit headquarters. Bids close Sept. 8, 2026. The proposed contract would run for 36 months from award and is not a contract award or confirmation that work has begun. Sourcecanadabuys.canada.ca↗
What happened
CanadaBuys lists the RCMP’s “Elevator Maintenance Services, Iqaluit HQ, Iqaluit, NU” opportunity as open, posted Aug. 12, 2026 and closing Sept. 8, 2026. The solicitation number is M5000-25-05409/B. It follows an earlier /A version of the same procurement that had a June 15 closing date, so this is a reissued solicitation rather than an award.
Why it matters
The procurement gives elevator-service firms a current federal bid opportunity in Iqaluit. It is also subject to the Nunavut Agreement and federal contracting rules for the Nunavut Settlement Area: bidders are asked to set out Inuit employment, subcontracting, training and Inuit-business involvement through an Inuit Benefits Plan. The plan accounts for 35% of the combined evaluation score; price accounts for 65%.
What happens next
Suppliers must submit compliant bids by Sept. 8, 2026 and should monitor CanadaBuys for amendments, which the RCMP says bidders are responsible for checking. The RCMP will then evaluate responsive bids; no successful supplier, contract value or start date is yet public.
Important details
Buyer: Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Solicitation: M5000-25-05409/B. Location: RCMP Iqaluit Headquarters, Iqaluit. Status: open solicitation, not an award. Posted: Aug. 12, 2026. Closing: Sept. 8, 2026. Proposed term: 36 months from contract award. Eligibility is limited to Canadian suppliers and suppliers of applicable trading partners. The requirement includes security conditions. CanadaBuys’ current listing does not label the /B notice as amended; the earlier /A solicitation should not be treated as the active deadline.
