The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) Health Services require the services of a psychologist for offenders located in the Greater Ontario and Nunavut District in the Ontario Region.

Objectives: To provide essential and non-essential mental health or psychological assessment or
psychological risk assessment services, or both to offenders, as requested by the Project Authority, as a psychologist at the Contractor’s business location in the London area in the Ontario Region or other CSC approved locations when needed, including Personal Health Information Protection Act
(PHIPA) approved video conferencing devices with prior approval by the Project Authority.

Deliverables: To provide psychological assessment or treatment services, or both as a Registered
Psychologist in Ontario for a maximum of 150 hours per year.

The treatment/counselling orientation utilized by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) is cognitive-behavioral. All psychological treatments offered to offenders by the contractors must be evidence-based with known application to offender populations.

The principal focus of treatment will depend on the nature of the referral and the offender's needs.

Although the usual objectives of treatment include the reduction of risk to reoffend, a priority should also be placed on the amelioration of the offender's mental health and emotional or behavioral functioning, including feelings, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that moderately to severely impact or interfere with daily functioning. The offender's motivation for the index offence (particularly in cases of sexual offenders) should be addressed in this context.

Any conditions for participation of suppliers not specified in solicitation documentation: none.
