SUBJECT - Respondents are requested to provide feedback on the enclosed draft documents pertaining to a requirement for Nursing Services for Remote and Isolated First Nations Communities, for Health Canada (HC).
RFI PURPOSE - The purpose of this second RFI is to inform potential Bidders concerning the upcoming HC Nursing Services requirement and to obtain Industry input and feedback regarding the development of the RFP and the procurement strategy.
POTENTIAL REQUIREMENT - Health Canada is having difficulty recruiting and retaining nurses in the nursing stations and federal hospitals located in Northern Manitoba, Northern Ontario, and northern Quebec on First Nations reserves. Without adequate service, the nursing stations and hospitals may have to close for periods of time which could result in liability to Canada. As a result, the use of contract relief nursing is urgently required.
The Department of Health Canada requires the services of three Contractors for the provision and management of a workforce of nurses to supplement internal HC resources on an as and when requested basis, at different remote and isolated locations of First Nations in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec provinces. The contracted services will include primary health care and hospital nursing service requirements.
The services provided by the Contractors will encompass the care of patients and the provision of assistance to medical doctors in the treatment of illness, the conduct of programs designed to promote health and prevent diseases, and the provision of advice. The services may also include direct patient care to individuals, families and groups in the home and community, consultation, administration or research, dependent upon the demands of individual task authorization.
The contract is expected to be awarded for a three-year initial period, plus five one-year option periods.
