    Description
    1. Requirement Summary

    The Government of Canada is committed to reducing crime and enhancing the safety of our communities through effective prevention, policing, and corrections. With respect to prevention, Public Safety Canada is responsible for the administration of the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS). The strategy aims to reduce crime by targeting at-risk groups in the population by funding evidence-based intervention programs and knowledge dissemination projects. Focusing on effective ways to prevent and reduce crime, Public Safety Canada continues to gather and synthesize national evidence on what works to help guide policy and program decisions. This information contributes to the overall body of scientific knowledge in the crime prevention domain.

    It is becoming increasingly recognized that when implementing and evaluating crime prevention approaches for Indigenous participants (broadly defined as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit persons), it is potentially beneficial to both: (1) incorporate culturally-relevant activities into program curricula; and (2) follow culturally-competent evaluation protocols. Although there have been noteworthy advances in crime prevention theory and practice with respect to the incorporation of a cultural lens, along with some encouraging results, uptake remains rather sporadic, with varying levels of depth in the application of the principles.

    The objective of this work aims to help facilitate more widespread adoption of these ideas by consolidating the available literature on culturally-relevant programming activities and culturally-competent evaluation methods for crime prevention in the Indigenous context.

    2. Term of Contract

    The period of the contract will be from the date of award until October 1, 2021.

    3. Evaluation Process and Selection Methodology

    Basis of selection – Highest combined score of technical points (70%) and financial points (30%), as detailed in the Request for Proposal

    4. Enquiries

    All enquiries must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Authority no later than five (5) calendar days before the Request for Proposal closing date. Enquiries received after that time may not be answered.

    Bidders should reference as accurately as possible the numbered item of the RFSO to which the enquiry relates. Care should be taken by Bidders to explain each question in sufficient detail in order to enable Canada to provide an accurate answer. Technical enquiries that are of a proprietary nature must be clearly marked "proprietary" at each relevant item. Items identified as "proprietary" will be treated as such except where Canada determines that the enquiry is not of a proprietary nature. Canada may edit the questions or may request that Bidders do so, so that the proprietary nature of the question is eliminated, and the enquiry can be answered with copies to all Bidders. Enquiries not submitted in a form that can be distributed to all Bidders may not be answered by Bidders.

    It is the responsibility of the Bidder to obtain clarification of the requirements contained herein, if necessary, prior to submitting a bid.
