OTTAWA — Public Services and Procurement 鶹ýӳ (PSPC) is seeking industry feedback on the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the 24 Sussex project.
This comes after Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled plans in June to restore the prime minister’s residence in Ottawa through a national design competition and fundraising campaign.
The prime minister said the winning design proposal will be announced by 鶹ýӳ Day 2027.
The 35-room mansion was built in 1867 and 1868 as a private residence. It was expropriated in 1949 to become the official residence of the prime minister but was abandoned as such in 2015 due to structural issues.
The National Capital Commission has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain 24 Sussex since 2015. The building was closed by the National Capital Commission in 2022 for what it called “health and safety reasons” — including an infestation of rats.
Those with relevant experience are being invited to review the RFQ and provide comments, particularly on the contractor requirements, procurement approach and opportunities to encourage broad participation from the Canadian 鶹ýӳ industry.
The deadline is Sept. 22.
