Client Brief — Modulable
What's open right now in Canada for modular and prefab buildings
A scan of every government tender currently open across Canada — federal, provincial, municipal, school boards, hospitals, and Crown corporations — that fits what Modulable manufactures: factory-built modular buildings, portable classrooms, modular healthcare units, prefabricated shelters, and worker accommodations. Each tender below has been individually verified against the live procurement feed.
Key Findings
-
Headline finding — one tender, four portals: The single biggest opportunity in the pipeline is the "Modular Buildings and Portable Storage Solutions" tender closing June 9. Although it appears as four separate listings (SARM in Saskatchewan, RMA in Alberta, CivicInfoBC, and the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities), all four are reposts of the same national tender run by Sourcewell + Canoe Procurement Group of Canada. Modulable submits one proposal via proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov.
-
Contract scope: Four-year base term plus up to three one-year extensions (potentially seven years), with supply access to thousands of public-sector buyers in every province and territory — municipalities, K-12 boards, universities, hospitals, federal agencies, Crown corporations, and Indigenous governments.
-
Strategic implication: The Sourcewell + Canoe national tender is the anchor of this pipeline. Everything else is tactical revenue.
-
Calgary Board of Education — Modular Program 2026-27: Three open tenders supporting a multi-school modular build-out — General Contractor for Lester B Pearson High School (closes May 19), General Contractor for Ernest Manning High School (May 20), and a geotechnical consultant covering multiple schools in the program (May 15). Modulable's role: position as a modular-building supplier subcontractor to whichever General Contractor wins each lot.
-
Quebec home market — both close May 12: Defence Construction Canada is buying six prefabricated buildings for the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu garrison, and the CIUSSS du Centre-ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal is procuring a modular care unit (solicitation CRJCR-1246-25). Both are natural fits given Modulable's Laval factory and bilingual delivery capacity.
-
Saskatchewan — bundle into a single bid: Three Regina Catholic Schools portable-classroom installations close in consecutive days — St. Gabriel (May 13), St. Theresa (May 14), and St. Marguerite (May 15). Same buyer, same week — coordinate as one proposal rather than three.
-
Pipeline pressure: 17 active tenders across six provinces and the federal level. Six close within seven days; twelve close within fourteen. Bid/no-bid decisions on most of this list have to be made this week.
-
Pipeline signal — Newfoundland Prefabricated Addition Program: The NL Ministry of Infrastructure has issued professional-services tenders (Quantity Surveyor, Facility Consultant) for a multi-school "Prefabricated Addition Program." Modulable cannot bid these directly, but their existence signals upcoming downstream supply tenders in NL worth tracking.

Sourcewell + Canoe National Tender (4 portal listings) · 4
⚠ Important: This is one tender, posted four times
The four listings below — from SARM (Sask), RMA (Alberta), CivicInfoBC, and the NS Federation of Municipalities — are reposts of the same single national tender run by Sourcewell + Canoe Procurement Group of Canada. They share an identical scope, identical close date (June 9), and a single submission portal.
Modulable submits one proposal through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov. Late submissions will not be considered.
What's at stake: a 4-year base contract with up to three 1-year extensions (potentially 7 years), giving Modulable supply access to thousands of public-sector buyers — municipalities, K-12 boards, universities, hospitals, federal agencies, Crown corporations, Indigenous governments — across every province and territory in Canada. The tender is also cross-posted by 9 other associations (AMM, LAS, UMNB, FPEIM, MNL, NWTAC, NAM, AYC, etc.) covering territories and provinces not separately represented in the four listings shown.

Tenders that signal upcoming downstream modular-supply opportunities, even though Modulable cannot bid them directly. NL's Ministry of Infrastructure has issued two professional-services contracts (Quantity Surveyor and Facility Consultant) supporting a multi-school "Prefabricated Addition Program" — when those advisors complete their work, downstream supply RFPs for the actual modular buildings should follow.

Methodology. Source: Publicus procurement-data API live-opportunity feed, May 7, 2026 snapshot (6,880 active records). Filter: 31-term keyword set covering modular, prefabricated, portable, manufactured, and workforce-accommodation procurement in English and French. Manual curation removed false-positive matches (e.g., "site office" appearing on construction source-list tenders, military "modular bridge systems," radios portatives). Already-closed tenders (close date < today) excluded. Each tender listed in this brief was individually verified by reviewing its description, taxonomy classification, and closing date against the source feed. The Sourcewell + Canoe master tender was identified by reading the full description text on the RMA listing, which explicitly names the 13 cross-posting associations and the central submission portal. Grouping by buyer-organization type. Urgency badges: ≤7 days = Urgent, ≤14 days = Closing soon, ≤33 days = Open, >33 days = Open.
