Investigation Services

The Commissioner of Canada Elections’ (the Commissioner) duty pursuant to section 509.2 is to ensure that the Canada Elections Act is complied with and enforced. Accordingly, the Commissioner is responsible for the investigation of offences and the laying of charges under the Canada Elections Act. Pursuant to section 513 of the Canada Elections Act, the Commissioner has the authority to incur any expenses, where he considers it to be in the public interest to do so, in relations to inquiries, injunctions or compliance agreements. As such, to support the Commissioner’s statutory mandate, Canada, on behalf of the Commissioner, requires the professional services of individuals with investigative expertise to conduct investigations. Canada is seeking to establish up to three (3) Contracts for unilingual investigative services and up to five (5) Contracts for bilingual investigative services on an “as and when requested” basis, as defined in Annex A, Statement of Work for five (5) years from Date of Award to June 30, 2021 including four (4) one (1) year options. Bidders may submit proposals for one (1) or both streams identified.
