Medical Expertises within the Framework of Labour Relations and Health Files

This tender concerns the provision of medical expert services, specifically focusing on the evaluation of an individual's health status. These services are to be utilized in the context of cases related to labour relations and occupational health and safety. The contracting authority for this procurement is the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST), an organization responsible for ensuring fair labour standards and workplace health and safety in Quebec.

The procurement method specified is a negotiated contract (contrat de gré à gré). The rationale provided indicates that while the initial contract value might be less than $25,000, the total amount paid under the contract is expected to be equal to or exceed $25,000. This suggests a potential for ongoing or expanded services beyond the initial threshold. The service category falls under S7 - Health Services and Social Services, with a specific focus on health status assessment. This implies that the selected expert(s) will play a crucial role in providing objective medical opinions that will inform decisions within labour relations and health and safety investigations or proceedings managed by the CNESST. The scope of work will likely involve reviewing medical documentation, conducting examinations if necessary, and producing detailed reports to support the commission's mandate.

This is a consulting contract in the health and medical services and legal services sectors, with a focus on Health Workforce and Labor Law. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
