Submission of bids delayed again on Canadian Surface Combatant program
The Canadian government and Irving Shipbuilding Inc. are extending the submission deadline for the request for proposals for the design of the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) fleet to November 30.
The previous deadline had been Nov. 17.
The Canadian Surface Combatant is the largest, most complex procurement undertaken by the government, according to Public Services and Procurement Canada. The ships being built will form the backbone of the Royal Canadian Navy.

Bidding has been delayed a number of times now. At one point, construction of the vessels was supposed to start in 2018.
