# PSPC Seeks Ottawa Office Space

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is assessing additional office space in the National Capital Region and expects to follow an earlier expression of interest with an invitation to tender; no release date has been set. PSPC is considering both leasing and purchasing space, prioritizing premises that are quickly occupiable, functional, furnished, and equipped with technology. The earlier expression of interest sought lease options of at least 1,000 square metres and purchase options of at least 5,000 square metres.

- Prospective lessors and sellers can use the earlier minimum size thresholds and PSPC’s readiness criteria to assess whether their properties may fit the anticipated requirement.
- The potential lease-or-buy approach means property owners and brokers may want to prepare options for both transaction structures; a formal tender date and final requirements are not yet available.
- The opportunity concerns the National Capital Region, so firms with suitable Ottawa-area office inventory are most directly positioned to respond when PSPC releases the tender.
