Legal services - Monitoring of wrongful acts

Santé Québec, specifically the CIUSSS de l’Est-de-l’Île-de-Montréal establishment, is seeking legal services for the monitoring of reprehensible acts. This falls under Category S13 - Professional and Administrative Support Services and Management Support Services, with a specialization in Legal Services. The procurement method is a direct contract, justified by Article 14, indicating that the contract value is below the public tender threshold. This suggests a need for ongoing legal counsel and support related to identifying, investigating, and managing incidents or behaviors that are deemed unacceptable or unlawful within the healthcare setting. The services may include providing legal advice on policies and procedures, assisting in the investigation of complaints or misconduct, representing the organization in legal proceedings, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The focus on 'reprehensible acts' implies a requirement for expertise in areas such as workplace conduct, patient safety, ethical breaches, or other forms of misconduct. The objective is to ensure that Santé Québec's establishment effectively addresses and mitigates risks associated with such acts through appropriate legal measures and oversight.

This is a services contract in the legal services sector, with a focus on Contract Law and Legal Aid. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
