Background: The relocation services could include but are not limited to: the physical movement of the personal household goods and effects (HG&E) and personal motor vehicles (PMV) of federal government employees, Canadian Armed Forces members, and RCMP members between the service area of Canada, the continental United States of America, and overseas. The relocation services include pre-move consultation, packing, loading, scaling, transportation, storage-in-transit (SIT), long-term storage (LTS) - bonded and regular (non-bonded), unloading, unpacking, replacement cost protection (insurance), and claims settlement services.
IHGRS will be delivered through 1 or more contracted service providers to provide relocation services to:
i. Department of National Defence (DND);
ii. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP);
iii. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Central Removal Services (CRS); and
iv. Global Affairs Canada (GAC).
This initiative will support the relocation policies of the Canadian Forces Integrated Relocation Program Directive, the National Joint Council (NJC) Relocation Directive, the Relocation Policy for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Foreign Service Directives.
DND, RCMP and CRS (representing federal public servants under the NJC) currently receive international relocation services via a single integrated contract. GAC currently receives its services through a series of National Master Standing Offers (NMSOs).
Historically, approximately 2000 transferees are relocated to and from international locations each year.
Canada’s relocation services requirements will not be finalized until the RFP is posted (anticipated summer 2017).
