The Canadian Government has announced the offering of two contracts to Weatherhaven Global Resources Ltd., of Coquitlam, B.C., for the procurement of new tactical tent-based shelter systems for the Canadian Forces.

The two contracts are worth a total of around $168 million.

The initial contract involves the procurement and delivery of 1,435 shelter systems, while the second one is for maintenance and support services for the first 5 years.

The contracts also include options to buy a further 338 shelters, and to extend the maintenance and support services by a further four 5-year options.

The contracts could be worth $350 million, if all options are exercised.

The Headquarters Shelter Systems will be replacing up to 80% of National Defence's Tent Expandable Modular System structures, which were initially designed and procured in the 1970s.

The new shelter systems can be utilized for headquarters, command posts, accommodations, or medical facilities, and they are easily carried on most military vehicles.
The first shelters' delivery will be completed by 2019.

Judy Foote, federal minister of Public Services and Procurement, said, "Our Government is committed to building a more agile, better-equipped military, while ensuring the best value for Canadians. These shelters will provide the women and men of the Canadian military with the modern equipment they need to do their jobs safely and securely in virtually any environment, at home or abroad."
