IO and MTCG selected Ontario Science Partners following extensive evaluations through an open, fair and competitive procurement process that began in May 2024. Selection criteria included evaluation of proposed design, technical submission and price to deliver the project. The entire procurement process was overseen by a third-party fairness advisor.
Ontario Science Partners will begin mobilizing on site and construction is expected to start in the coming weeks (Spring 2026).
