Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), has a requirement for nursing services on an "as and when requested" basis for Travellers returning from outside of Canada who are placed under quarantine order by the Government of Canada (GoC) and housed in a Quarantine Site. PHAC also has a requirement for nursing services at identified airports and border points of entry. 

PHAC requires Registered Nurses (RNs) to perform health assessments to support its onsite health operations team. The contract nurses will provide nursing services such as conducting health assessment checks on Travellers returning from abroad, at Quarantine Sites and at the identified airports and border points of entry, to prevent and limit the spread of COVID-19 upon entering Canada. 

The nursing services are required in the provinces and territory as follow:

Stream 1 - Yukon;  
Stream 2 - British Columbia; 
Stream 3 - Alberta;  
Stream 4 - Saskatchewan;  
Stream 5 - Manitoba; 
Stream 6 - Ontario; 
Stream 7 - Quebec;
Stream 8 - New Brunswick; 
Stream 9 - Nova Scotia; and 
Stream 10 - Newfoundland. 

Up to 10 contracts may be awarded as a result of this bid solicitation; one contract per stream. If a Bidder has the lowest evaluated price for more than 1 stream, a contract will be recommended for award which will combine the streams. Canada reserves the right to award a contract, or multiple contracts, to more than one Bidder to address Canada’s requirement, in whole or in part, as described in the Statement of Work.

The period of any resulting contract will be for 4 months from the date of contract award and will include 6 irrevocable 1 month option periods each to extend the terms and conditions of each contract.

There are no security requirements associated with this requirement.

This procurement is subject to the following Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement(s):

- Kwanlin Dun First Nation Final Agreement; and
- Ta'an Kwach'an Council Final Agreement.

This bid solicitation is to establish a contract with task authorizations (TA) for the delivery of the requirement detailed in the bid solicitation, and include areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCA).

The national security exceptions provided for in the trade agreements have been invoked; therefore, this procurement is excluded from all of the obligations of all the trade agreements.

Due to the nature of this requirement, transmission of responses by mail, or by facsimile to PSPC will not be accepted. Bids must be submitted directly to the Contracting Authority by email. See section 2.2 Submission of Bids of the RFP for additional information.
