Independent Third Party Review Services

The Human Resource Branch is seeking qualified resources to deliver Independent Third Party Review (ITPR) services in support of the Canada Revenue Agency’s Independent Third Party Review Process in all regions across Canada on an “as and when requested” basis. The review process differs from traditional arbitration in that it is a non-legalistic and non-precedent setting rights based recourse. These services are to include the review of human resources management decisions in the areas of staffing and staff relations. ITPR services are to be provided, at various Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) locations across Canada in the following six (6) regions: Atlantic Region, National Capital Region, Ontario Region, Quebec Region, Pacific Region and Prairie Region. Bidders may submit a proposal for any of the six (6) regions. Bidders can bid on more than one region. Up to fifteen (15) “as and when requested” Contracts may be awarded by this process. The Contracts will be distributed as follows: To the two (2) highest ranked Bidders located in the Atlantic Region To the two (2) highest ranked Bidders located in the Pacific Region To the three (3) highest ranked Bidders located in the National Capital Region To the four (4) highest ranked Bidders located in the Ontario Region To the two (2) highest ranked Bidders located in the Quebec Region To the two (2) highest ranked Bidders located in the Prairies Region The anticipated period of Contract will be for two (2) years from the Contract award date, with four (4) option periods of up to one (1) year. A Task Authorization process will be used to request ITPR services under the resulting contracts.
