Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) appears to be seeking interpreter agencies to provide interpretation services across Canada. The procurement may result in multiple contracts, initially for one year, with an option for the government to extend each contract by up to three additional one-year periods under the stated terms and pricing provisions. The tender is currently listed as open and is scheduled to close on October 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The listing identifies Ottawa, Ontario, but the services may involve requirements across Canada. A language-list spreadsheet is provided with the tender documents and should be reviewed to determine which languages and service needs are covered. Security requirements are associated with this opportunity. Potential bidders may need to meet organizational and personnel security-screening requirements through the Government of Canada’s Contract Security Program. The precise obligations should be confirmed in the resulting contract clauses and the full request-for-proposal documents. This opportunity could potentially match an established interpreter agency able to provide the required languages, staffing, administration, and security compliance. The tender does not establish that any particular business qualifies. Review the official RFP, language-list spreadsheets, pricing rules, mandatory criteria, submission instructions, and security clauses before deciding whether to bid. Confirm the closing time, amendments, and all requirements on the official Canada Buys notice before submitting a quotation.
