    Provision / Coordination of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD) Beneficiaries.
    
    Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada, has a requirement to establish Regional Individual Standing Offers for the provision of Vocational Rehabilitation Services in the province of Ontario and Atlantic and Western Canada. Services are to be provided and coordinated with the goal of assisting CPPD beneficiaries who are approved to participate in VR, in becoming job ready to seek, obtain and sustain gainful employment.  The responsibilities are shared between the participant, service provider and Service Canada’s VR Case Manager (VRCM). 
    
    The regions are broken into specific service areas (as per the list below), which enables the bidder to bid on as many service areas as they deem viable.  Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of ESDC, will award multiple Regional Individual Standing Offers for this purpose.  
    
    This is a one (1) year Standing Offer in effect from date of award with an option to extend for two separate and additional one year periods.  Please refer the Statement of Work at Annex A for complete details of work requirements. 
    
    The requirement is limited to Canadian goods and/or services.
