This bid solicitation is being issued to satisfy the requirement of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It is intended to result in the award of one (1) contract from contract award to March 31, 2025.
As part of the Business Risk Management (BRM) Climate Review, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is seeking external expertise to support the analysis of potential cross-compliance initiatives between environmental objectives and BRM programs.
The objective of this project is to conceptualize possible models of environmental cross-compliance in the Business Risk Management program suite that could be applied at both the Canadian and provincial/territorial levels and assess their potential benefits and trade-offs.
The BRM climate review stems from the multi-lateral framework agreement between the Federal, Provinces and Territories. The result of the contract will be used to support the development of future policy positions pertaining to the BRM suite. The report is expected to provide AAFC with potential avenues to implement cross-compliance linkages in BRM programs, including considerations and implications.
