Paramedic Services

5A090-194755/A

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), has a requirement for temporary Paramedic services to supplement its workforce in delivering primary, public and emergency health services, on an "as and when requested" basis, at remote, isolated and semi-isolated First Nations (FN) communities in Canada. The services provided by the Contractor through its Paramedics are required on a 24 hours per day, seven days per week basis and will encompass, but not be limited to, direct patient care and consultation, the conduct of programs designed to promote health, and the provision of advice.

This specific requirement is to provide Paramedics as part of a surge capacity response to COVID-19 in order to support "regional health authorities" (federal, provincial, territorial and/or Indigenous) for this urgent and critical situation, of a temporary nature.

This requirement has two streams

Stream 1: Ontario and optional regions Stream 2: Manitoba and optional regions

Although it is anticipated that 1 Contract per stream will be awarded as a result of the RFP, Canada reserves the right to issue multiple Contracts as a result of this solicitation for all or a portion of the work if it is determined that this would best meet the needs of the Client.

The period of any resulting contract will be for three months from the date of contract award and will include one irrevocable three month option period to extend the terms and conditions of each contract.

There are security requirements associated with this requirement.

This bid solicitation is to establish a contract with task authorizations (TA) for the delivery of the requirement detailed in the bid solicitation, to the Identified Users across Canada, and may include areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCA) and Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA).

The national security exceptions provided for in the trade agreements have been invoked; therefore, this procurement is excluded from all of the obligations of all the trade agreements.

Due to the nature of this requirement, transmission of responses by mail or by facsimile to PSPC will not be accepted. Bids must be submitted directly to the Contracting Authority by email. See section 2.2 Submission of Bids of the RFP for additional information.
