The PWGSC Vancouver office provides procurement services to the
public in English.

Requirement:
The CBSA requires the provision of Security Guard and
transportation services starting April 1, 2015 in the Metro
Vancouver Area (MVA), and may require Security Guard and
transportation services for the greater BC area and the Yukon
Territory.

The Contractor's Personnel must provide care and control of
Immigration detainees, the safe and secure transport of
detainees, the verification of departure of persons from Canada
who are under a removal order pursuant to the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). 

Operations will be centralized within the Metro Vancouver Area
(MVA) however; services must cover the entire Pacific Region
(British Columbia and the Yukon). Flexibility in responding to
ever changing needs is of the utmost importance, as the number
of detainees at the British Columbia Immigration Holding Center
(BCIHC), the CBSA Day cells located at Library Square, the
number and frequency of detainee transports, and the number and
frequency of departure verifications can change drastically on a
daily basis. 

The contract period will be from Date of Contract Award to March
31, 2017, with options to extend for two (2) six-month periods.
