July 30, 2026 - Notice of Extension:
This is the official notice that Ministry of Children and Family Services (CFS) has extended the Closing Date of PQR-001-CFS to December 15, 2026, no later than 16:30:59 Alberta Time. This is in accordance with sections 3.1.1 and 6.16 of the PQR Reference Document.
The term of the Master Agreements held by Qualified Service Providers (QSPs) will remain May 31, 2027. This is in accordance with section 2 (Term) of the Master Agreement (Terms and Conditions of the Master Agreement) found at Appendix B of the PQR-001-CFS Submission Package.
The Province is currently developing a new PQR to update the Service Categories. The intent is to post the new PQR in August 2026 for service providers to apply. It is the responsibility of service providers to monitor APC and apply to be qualified under the new PQR when posted.
If you are an existing Qualified Service Provider (QSP), no action is required on your part to maintain your status as a QSP. If you choose to resubmit, once qualified, the most recent Proposal and Master Agreement will replace any previous submission. See Notice of Extension in the Bid Package for more information.
Alberta Children and Family 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 that they want to qualify for and the respective Service Delivery Regions of the Ministry in which they want to qualify to provide those services.
A resource list of Qualified Service Providers will be generated following the evaluation of submissions.
