Professional Services for Investigations

This tender seeks professional services for conducting investigations, specifically within the realm of labor relations. The procurement falls under the category of Professional, Administrative, and Management Support Services, with a specialization in labor relations investigation services. The procurement method is a direct award contract, justified by Article 14, which states that the contract value is below the public tender threshold. The contracting authority is the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. This indicates a need for external expertise to handle sensitive or specialized investigative tasks related to workplace matters. The direct award, due to the contract value being below the threshold, suggests a streamlined process for acquiring these services for potentially smaller-scale or specific investigative needs that do not warrant a full public tender process. The university is looking to engage qualified professionals to conduct these investigations efficiently and confidentially.

This is a consulting contract in the legal services and audit and accounting sectors, with a focus on Arbitration and Forensic Accounting. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
