Bid Scout · Mon Oct 26, 2026 · 7:08 AM ET

Five opportunities with electrical scope were posted between October 15 and 22 and run into mid-November, led by a fire alarm replacement in Markham, five years of UPS service for Peel Regional Police and a new OCDSB data cabling prequalification. Four question deadlines fall between today and Wednesday.

Every item was checked as Open on its public bids&tenders page on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Times are Eastern as the portal shows them. Addenda can move a date, so confirm on the buyer page before you submit.

How to use this list

This morning, send any questions on London's prequal before noon, and on Markham's fire alarm job before 3:00 PM. Barrie's pump and motor questions close Tuesday, and Mississauga's close Wednesday, so call the pool GCs early. Peel's clarifier questions now run to November 2. Then put the prequalifications, OCDSB 27-027, Hamilton C14-04-26 and the new OCDSB 25-043-R2, on the calendar. bids&tenders preview pages are free, but secured documents usually need a registered account.
