Investigative 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 six (6) Standing Offers for bilingual investigative services on an “as and when requested” basis, as defined in Annex A, Statement of Work. The period for making Call-ups against the Standing Offer will be from Effective Date of the Standing Offer to June 30, 2016

The Offeror grants to Canada the irrevocable option to extend the term of the Standing Offer by three (3) additional periods of one (1) year under the same terms and conditions.

The Standing Offers will be for the exclusive use of Canada. The Technical Authority will identify the requirements and the Standing Offer Authority will authorize the Call-up.

The Standing Offers will be ranked based on their score obtained in Phase 4 of the evaluation process.
