Y2 Consulting Psychologists Inc./Psychologues consultants Y2 inc.**Please note: So as not to impede on the efficiency of the procurement process, the IRB has decided to extend the invitation for this bid to the first ten (10) pre-qualified suppliers submitting requests that are not listed in Attachment 1 to Part 1 “List of Suppliers Invited to Bid” of the bid solicitation.Description of the Requirement:The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) has a requirement for a comprehensive review of IRB’s organizational structure of the two (2) Refugee divisions and a requirement for a review of the non-adjudicative functions of all the divisionsObjective and Scope of Work:At this challenging time, where the IRB is changing its organizational structure to account for the introduction of virtual hearings, a new digital strategy, a move towards a more national approach and the rapid growth of the IRB, professional consulting services are required to review and analyze the current organizational structure in order to propose an adjudicative structure (to two levels below the deputy chairpersons, or more than two organizational levels if needed to reach the current Coordinating Member positions) for the RPD and RAD. This work is pressing given the continued growth of the IRB and the opportunities and pressures to transform operating models post-pandemic. In addition, as a secondary task, a structure for non-adjudicative functions is needed in each of the divisions. This structure will ideally be scalable – to account for the different sizes of the divisions – but provide some consistency in the structure, type and ratio of non-adjudicative support and integrate well with the services provided by the Executive Director sector.Proposed organizational designs will also need to consider the upcoming conversion of the classification standard for the PA occupational group, especially but not uniquely for the Coordinating Members. The majority of employees at the IRB are part of the PA occupational group, including the decision-makers in RPD and ID.Level of Security Requirement:Company Minimum Security Level Required: ReliabilityResources Minimum Security Level Required: ReliabilityApplicable Trade Agreements:The requirement is subject to the provisions of:- Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA);- Canada-Chili Free Trade Agreement;- Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP);- Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement;- Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA);- Canada-Honduras Free Trade Agreement;- Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement;- Canada-United States-Mexixo Agreement (CUSMA;- Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement;- Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement;- World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP);Associated Documents: N/AProposed period of contract:The proposed period of contract is from contract award date to September 30, 2022.Estimated Level of Effort:The estimated level of effort of the contract is Approx. 9 months to complete.File Number: 20211102-IRBContracting Authority: Naomie FevryPhone Number: 416-659-6165E-Mail: IRB.Procurement-Acquisitions.CISR@irb-cisr.gc.caNOTE: The Task and Solutions Professional Services (TSPS) Method of Supply is subject to quarterly refresh cycles.
