Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) - *Saskatchewan, *Canada, Ottawa, ON
AAFC is seeking mediator consultants located in or serving Saskatchewan for the Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS). The work would be assigned on an “as and when requested” basis under task authorizations and involves facilitating confidential, voluntary discussions between farmers and their creditors. The mediator would remain neutral, collaborate with a financial consultant, lead mediation meetings, help the parties reach an agreement, and prepare the written arrangement for signatures. The procurement is open and is intended to establish five contracts, each for up to five years. The listed closing date is December 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The tender identifies Saskatchewan as the service location, although the record also lists Ottawa, Ontario, so the official documents should be checked for the precise delivery and administrative requirements. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to firms or independent professionals with appropriate mediation, financial counselling, agricultural debt, negotiation, and confidentiality experience. The summary does not provide the mandatory qualifications, experience thresholds, rates, insurance, security, or submission instructions, so these must be confirmed in the official tender notice and attached PDF before deciding whether to bid. Review the notice carefully and verify all requirements and the closing time directly with Canada Buys before submitting.Official document: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111044/csc-2627-0480-fdms-mediator-consultant-saskatchewan-%28e.pdf
