Purchasing & Tenders

NB Power uses different procurement methods to meet its needs. Larger purchases are often made by issuing a Request for Tender or Request for Proposal which is posted on the New Brunswick Opportunities Network. Smaller purchases are typically made through a Request for Quote where a limited number of suppliers are contacted directly. In a small percentage of cases, NB Power negotiates with specific suppliers based on clearly defined exemptions that are outlined within the Procurement Act & Regulations.

If you have products or services to offer and would like us to be aware of your offerings, please send any relevant information, such as your website or product line card, to alltenders@nbpower.com.

NB Power’s HSEE Management System

NB Power’s Corporate Safety Manual, Health & Safety Standards and applicable forms are provided to assist our contractors with pre-award safety planning, and to support the management of health and safety for the duration of an NB Power contract.

NB Power’s Health, Safety, Environment & Emergency Preparedness (HSEE) Management System is provided to establish the minimum HSEE requirements, irrespective of jurisdiction. Where the authority having jurisdiction has established requirements that exceed or are otherwise out of scope of NB Power’s HSEE Management System, those requirements must take precedence, and govern the work activities.
