PROCESS SERVERS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CANADA (JUS) ONTARIO REGIONAL OFFICE (ORO)

The Ontario Regional Office (ORO) engages in a diverse array of litigation, appearing at all levels of court from the Provincial Court to the Supreme Court of Canada, as well as the Federal Courts, Tax Court and various administrative tribunals.

During the course of litigation, the ORO may need to give legal notice to a party, serve such party, be it an individual, a legal representative or a corporation with legal documents, and file said documents with a Court or Tribunal. As a result, the ORO is seeking the services of Process Servers to pick-up, sort, issue, serve and file various types of legal documents within the Province of Ontario, in accordance with the applicable legislation and Rules of Court in the area of service.

These services are expected to be performed on a “firm daily” basis, and on an “as and when requested” basis. The most
common requests are for the following Courts and Tribunals: the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Courts, Ontario Courts and
the Immigration and Refugee Board

The majority of the work will be undertaken in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) which is defined by the City of Toronto and the
following four (4) regions: Halton, Peel, York and Durham. No travel and living expenses are to be charged for work that occurs
within the GTA. For locations outside the GTA, directly serviced by the Contractor, travel and living expenses will be paid based
on the Treasury Board Travel Directive. For the Work that will be undertaken in locations outside the GTA, not serviced directly
by the Contractor, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to make arrangements with Process Service subcontractors in that
area, to have documents served and/or filed. For these requirements, the Contractor will have to make arrangements to have
these legal documents delivered, by a courier, to the Process Serving subcontractors, who will in turn serve and/or file these
legal documents, which may require out-of-province service. There will be no travel and living expenses reimbursed

As a result of this Request for Standing Offer (RFSO), it is anticipated that the Department of Justice Canada will issue up to two
(2) Standing Offers on a Right of First Refusal Basis.
The period for making call-ups and providing services against the Standing Offer(s) is from Date of Issuance to March 31, 2025
inclusive. If the Standing Offer is authorized for use beyond the initial period, the Offeror offers to extend its offer for an
additional two (2) one (1) year periods.

There are security requirements associated with the requirement of the Standing Offer. For additional information, see Part 6 -
Security, Financial and Insurance Requirements, and Part 7 - Standing Offer and Resulting Contract Clauses. For more
information on personnel and organization security screening or security clauses, Offerors should refer to the Contract Security
