Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

This is an open Advanced Contract Award Notice (ACAN) from Correctional Service Canada (CSC) for victim-offender mediation services. CSC appears to intend to award the contract to a pre-identified supplier, but other suppliers may challenge that intention by submitting a statement of capabilities demonstrating that they can meet the requirement. The services would support victims and federally sentenced offenders affected by serious crime. The primary service area is British Columbia and Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, including some cross-regional cases. Although the notice lists Ottawa, Ontario, the service delivery appears focused on participants and offenders in western Canada and the Northern Territories. The contractor is expected to provide at least two qualified, professional victim-offender mediators and approximately 3,500 service hours annually, with between 20 and 80 combined hours per week. Services would follow CSC’s approved Victim-Offender Mediation Program model and restorative justice principles. Potential activities include letter and video exchanges, shuttle mediation, community conferencing, healing circles, and face-to-face meetings. Key responsibilities include assessing case suitability, preparing participants, conducting ongoing safety, security, and confidentiality assessments, maintaining case records in CSC’s Offender Management System within seven business days of activities, and participating in CSC meetings, training, and consultations. The closing date is November 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Suppliers considering a response should carefully compare their experience, mediator qualifications, regional coverage, capacity, recordkeeping systems, and ability to follow CSC’s VOMP procedures against the complete ACAN requirements. The notice does not guarantee that a supplier may bid or receive the contract; the official tender documents should be reviewed to confirm the required statement-of-capabilities format, submission instructions, pre-identified supplier details, and all mandatory criteria before submitting.
