Description

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (NLHS) is seeking to pre-qualify vendors through a Request for Supplier Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish a pool of qualified suppliers for leased residential housing across various health zones in Newfoundland and Labrador. This prequalification will enable vendors to participate in future open or limited call processes to provide furnished residential units such as studios, houses, basement apartments, townhomes, and condos that meet specified standards. The RFSQ does not directly result in a contract but creates a vendor pool available until October 2026. Vendors must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act 2018 and meet detailed specifications including furnishings, location, and maintenance requirements.
