Doing Business
The NCC is a major buyer of goods and services in the National Capital Region. Much of our spending goes towards construction and land maintenance contracts, and to a steady supply of complementary services. We are always open to working with new suppliers.
Finding opportunities
The NCC’s tender opportunities are listed on CanadaBuys. For smaller opportunities, we leverage a list of trusted suppliers.
Supplier requirements
The NCC is subject to the Official Languages Act (OLA) and is committed to advancing the equality of status and use of English and French, among other measures. As a supplier, this means if you provide services on behalf of the NCC, you may be expected to make your deliverables accessible in both official languages.
For more information, contact our procurement team using the form below.
Suppliers must provide either proof of workers’ compensation contributions, or a letter of exemption from the corresponding authority:
- Ontario: Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)
- Quebec: Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité au travail (CNESST)
Suppliers working on NCC property need a basic security clearance from NCC Corporate Security. Higher clearance may be required for specific locations like the official residences and Parliament Hill.
Suppliers must provide an active certificate of general liability insurance. This certificate must:
- Cover at least $5 million in liability, per occurrence;
- Clearly describe the services provided; and
- Name the National Capital Commission as additional insured.
Green procurement
We are greening our procurement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for goods and services that have a high environmental impact. Our goal is for 80% of high-impact contracts to include green criteria by 2027.
Indigenous procurement
We consider Indigenous businesses where capacity exists and encourage their participation in contracting with the NCC. We also support capacity-building for future projects and initiatives. This furthers the federal government’s target of awarding at least 5% of federal contracts to Indigenous businesses.
