The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (CRCC) is an agency of the federal government, distinct and independent of the RCMP. Its goal is to enhance RCMP accountability by providing civilian review of complaints relating to RCMP activities and member conduct.
When reviewing complaints about the RCMP or the conduct of its members, the CRCC does not act as an advocate for either the complainants or the RCMP members. Rather, its role is to inquire into complaints independently and to reach conclusions after an objective examination of the information provided.
Through its investigative and review processes, the CRCC makes recommendations, which are remedial in nature, and intended to improve RCMP policy, procedure, practice, and member conduct.
The CRCC is issuing this RFI to provide suppliers with an opportunity to:
Learn about current and anticipated CRCC requirements in regards to investigative services that may be contracted to assist the CRCC in meeting its mandate; and
Review the proposed generic SOW and Evaluation Criteria that the CRCC would potentially use to procure investigative services and provide comment and /or offer feedback.
These efforts are intended to give the CRCC a better understanding of the relevant investigative services available in the market that could support the CRCC in meeting its mandate.
This RFI is not a solicitation of bids or proposals and does not constitute a commitment with respect to future purchases, procurements or contracts. No contract will be awarded as a result of the activities undertaken during this RFI. Potential suppliers of any services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, or allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI.
This RFI refers to a Submission Form (Questionnaire) to be completed by interested suppliers. If or when it becomes available, additional information about CRCC supplier engagement activities and current and expected areas of interest will be added.
This RFI and related documents are currently at a preliminary stage. Suppliers should not assume that new clauses or requirements will not be added to any future supplier engagement activities or to the procurement documents that may ultimately be published by the CRCC, nor should suppliers assume that clauses or requirements will not be deleted or remain unchanged. Comments regarding any aspect of the process are welcome and should be submitted using the Submission Form.
