Background The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada (“CEOC”), an agent of Parliament, exercises general direction and supervision over the conduct of elections and referendums at the federal level. The CEOC heads the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, commonly known as Elections Canada (EC). EC has a requirement to ensure that emerging areas within the organization, agency priorities, implementation of special initiatives and anticipated changes to legislation are addressed through an optimal organization structure. Lessons learned from the 42nd Electoral Event, plans of the agency to radically improve the voter experience for the 43rd Electoral Event and the anticipated electoral reform announced by the current government, which may establish a new voting model (i.e. preferential ballot, proportional representation, other, etc.), and other potential modifications to the electoral process, all require EC to ensure it is optimally structured to respond to a demanding and changing environment. Requirement EC requires Organizational Review, Organizational Design and Implementation Services to review how EC is currently structured both at its headquarters where employees are employed under the Public Service Employment Act and in the field, where Field Personnel are hired under the CEA and Referendum Act. The Work entails reviewing current functions as well as structures at the corporate, sector and branch level: identifying opportunities for synergies and efficiencies and proposing better function alignments to achieve these efficiencies; recommending changes to current structure to implement the function realignment, developing plans to implement new structures including change management strategies, drafting job descriptions and supporting classification rationales. Period of the Contract The Contract period will be for two years from the Effective Date of the Contract (the “Initial Term”). The Contractor will grant to Elections Canada irrevocable options to extend the period of the Contract by two additional periods of one year under the same terms and conditions.
