Contract Services: bringing the best in industry to DND

For more than 50 years, DCC has linked the infrastructure needs of DND with the contractors and suppliers who service these needs. Contract Services (CS) serves DND domestically and overseas, issuing approximately 1,800 contracts annually for professional services, construction, goods, and other infrastructure-related work. Because of our in-depth knowledge of the construction business, our experts can meet both the tough operational demands of the Canadian Forces and the high standards of the federal procurement policy. Using DCC’s ISO-9001 certified quality program, the service line ensures consistent delivery, enhanced client input and continuous improvement.

Contract Services’ responsibilities include procurement and solicitation planning, preparing tender documents, soliciting and evaluating bids, awarding contracts and conducting market assessments.

DCC has many other infrastructure-related tender processes. Each is designed to meet a particular requirement. They include:

• best-value contracts,
• construction management,
• energy-performance contracts,
• standing offers, and
• facility maintenance contracts.

Contract Services can manage a procurement project using any of a number of processes, such as:

• Quick response tenders: DCC maintains a list of contractors capable of meeting the construction needs of specific locations. Contracts for small, uncomplicated projects can be in place within 14 days.
• Tender boards: Minor construction projects that are time sensitive but more complex are candidates for this process. The target time from notice to awarding the contract is 25 calendar days.
• Design-build: This contract option is used to deliver a portion of a major capital construction program. The time required to contract under this option is longer than for other standard processes, but the overall project delivery time has been reduced from the traditional design-build method.
