    Description
    Notice of Proposed Procurement – Non-Set Aside #20-13-6008
    
    Private Investigative Services for Resolution and Individual Affairs Sector – The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Canada – Standing Offer Agreement (SOA)
     
    The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Canada – Resolution and Individual Affairs Sector (DIAND-RIAS) has the responsibility for settling claims of abuse associated with the legacy of the Indian residential school system that operated in Canada from the late 1800’s through the 1980’s.
    
    Within the context of Canada’s strategic approach to residential school abuse claims, Canada has a specific mandate to achieve resolution of claims through an approach that will promote healing and reconciliation.  
    
    In line with this mandate, the department resolves claims of former residential school students, in cooperation with other parties, through the Independent Assessment Process that is part of the 2007-2013 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (class action settlement).
    The court mandated Settlement Agreement provides for an enhanced alternative dispute resolution process called the Independent Assessment Process (IAP).  The IAP is the process to help former students settle their claims for abuse they suffered at Indian Residential Schools. The IAP compensates former students for sexual abuse, serious physical abuse and certain other wrongful acts which caused serious psychological consequences for the individual.
    
    In the IAP process, former employees of Indian Residential Schools, clergy, former students and other individuals have been named by former students as alleged perpetrators concerning abuse.  The Settlement agreement mandates DIAND-RIAS to locate and contact alleged perpetrators.  The Settlement Agreement requires that the alleged perpetrators be informed of and be given the opportunity to respond to, the allegations concerning them.  The Settlement Agreement provides a strict timeframe for DIAND-RIAS to locate and contact these alleged perpetrators.

    •	Locate alleged perpetrators using standard private investigator procedures including, but not limited to, telephone, facsimile, internet and e-mail.
