The GCRSS will be delivered through contracted service providers
that administer the provision of relocation services to members
of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and federal public servants
under the National Joint Council (NJC) in accordance with their
respective relocation directives, i.e. the Canadian Forces
Integrated Relocation Program Directive and the National Joint
Council Relocation Directive. The NJC requirements are
represented by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS).
The relocation services could include but are not limited to:
advisory services (e.g. information on relocation benefits,
relocation planning, etc), financial claims processing, and
creation and maintenance a list of third party service providers
(e.g. realtors, home inspectors, lawyers/notaries, etc) that
includes service standards and ceiling prices. The services do
not include the physical movement of household furnishings and
effects, which are managed under separate contracts.
Organizations capable of bidding on the contemplated follow-up
Request(s) for Proposals are invited to request a one-on-one
meeting with representatives of Canada for the week of August

provide written responses to all questions included in this RFI
prior to the meeting. Separate meetings will be conducted for
the CAF and TBS. Please indicate whether your request is for
CAF, TBS, or both. Meetings are offered either in-person in
Gatineau (Quebec) or via teleconference, and are expected to
last 90 minutes. To request a meeting, please email
