Below is every Ontario opportunity on our list with electrical scope that closes between Monday, October 19 and Friday, October 23: nine items, from a tennis-court relight in Pickering to a prime electrical roster for a new Ottawa high school. Two question deadlines fall on Friday, October 16, so read the Friday items first.
Every item was checked on its public bids&tenders page on Thursday, October 15, 2026. Times are Eastern as the portal shows them. Addenda can move a date, so confirm on the buyer page before you submit.
Monday, October 19
Peel Region — Snow Storage Facility, 1875 North Sheridan Way, Mississauga 2026-484T closes at noon (moved from October 15; updated Oct 16). Site lighting is one piece of a civil job, so this is a sub play to the general contractors bidding it. Six addenda are out, so read them before you price the lighting.
City of Pickering — Rick Hull Tennis Court Lighting Replacement Q2026-36 closes at 2:00 PM. The RFQ covers replacing the court lighting, and it already has three addenda and 17 plan takers. Questions closed October 5, so price from the documents and addenda as issued.

There are two addenda and 22 plan takers.
Ottawa-Carleton District School Board — Prime Electrical Contractors, Half Moon Bay High School (RFSQ) 27-017 closes at 3:00 PM.

Thursday, October 22
City of Markham — Backstop Fence Replacement, Bullpen Installation and Lighting Installation 208-T-26 closes at 3:00 PM. The lighting sits inside a ball-diamond package, so it may suit a sub working under a landscape or fencing prime.

Dates that moved
Last week's list had Peel's 2026-356T wireless security system closing October 16. It now closes Monday, October 26 at noon. Caledon's demand and emergency electrical maintenance RFT closes November 3, but questions are due Tuesday, October 20 at 2:00 PM.
How to use this list
By noon on Friday, October 16, send your TDSB questions (Georgina's are due by 2:00 PM), and confirm your TDSB prequalified status before you spend time pricing. Over the weekend, make go or no-go calls on Pickering and Guelph. The OCDSB roster is a prequalification: if you miss it, you can't bid the electrical work on that school later. bids&tenders preview pages are free, but secured documents usually need a registered account.
