Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC)  publishes
this request for proposal (RFP) for security guard services for
the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Services are to be
provided mainly, but not only, in the Montreal Region.

The main role of the Canada Border Services Agency Prevention
Centre (CBSA PC) is to transport, accommodate and ensure the
security of detainees under the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act (IRPA) and other related memoranda of
understanding. The CBSA PC's purpose is to support CBSA
operations by taking responsibility for all detainees in
accordance with departmental policies and national detention
standards. The CBSA PC team aims to ensure the security of
everyone concerned, both the detainees and our Enforcement
partners (Detention Operations component).

The services of uniformed, unarmed security guards shall be
provided to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to guard
and transport persons held under the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act (IRPA) and CBSA directives. The services of
uniformed, unarmed security guards will be required for the
transportation and guarding of detainees to be taken to areas
primarily within Greater Montreal but also sometimes in other
parts of Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes. A minimum of 40% of
the security guard workforce, on all work shifts and wherever
the services are provided, shall be women. Transport services
provided by uniformed, unarmed guards shall be used for the
transportation of detainees and their luggage and to pick up or
deliver prescriptions or any other property or effects to be
delivered according to the project officer's instructions.
Transport shall be carried out using CBSA vehicles.

An optional site visit, as indicated in the RFP, is planed
October 29, 2012, at 10:30 A.M., at the CBSA Holding Centre
(CBSA HC) 200 Montée St-François, Laval, Quebec.

It is planned that the resulting contract will be for two years.

The selection will be done according to an evaluation based on
technical and financial evaluation criteria.
