Alberta Assisted Living and Social Services (“Ministry”) works collaboratively with government, community, partners, and stakeholders to improve the quality of life for Albertans through delivery of respectful, adaptive supports and innovative, prevention-focused programs and policies. The Ministry strives to ensure that Albertans are supported – that they have the resources and skills to optimize their quality of life, that they are protected and safe in their homes and communities, and that they are enabled and empowered to be successful. The purpose of this PQR is to develop Resource Lists of Qualified Service Providers for the Ministry’s future contracting services. The Resource Lists may be used to call for proposals and/or to award contracts without further competition. A separate Request for Proposals (RFP) may be advertised for specialized services. In this PQR, Proponents are to identify Service Categories for which they are qualified or for which they wish to become qualified, and the respective Service Delivery Regions of the Ministry in which they wish to provide those services. A resource list of Qualified Service Providers will be generated on a monthly basis following the evaluation of submissions.
