Canadian Centre of Recovery Excellence - Request for Qualification - Strategic and Professional Advisory Services

The Canadian Centre of Recovery Excellence is inviting qualified consultants to submit credentials for inclusion on a Standing Offer List to provide professional advisory services in support of Alberta’s mental health and addiction system. This initiative is part of CoRE’s mandate to deliver data-driven insights and strategic guidance to government decision-makers, ensuring the development and implementation of effective policies, standards, and best practices. The solicitation seeks external experts for four key service categories: strategic advisory on mental health and addiction issues, project implementation support, evaluations and applied research, and medical writing. Consultants must demonstrate relevant experience and expertise to contribute meaningfully to CoRE’s mission of improving system performance and outcomes across Alberta. The opportunity is open through February 2, 2030, and submissions will be evaluated to establish a prequalified roster of service providers available to respond to future requests as needed. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-00921, was posted on April 24, 2026, and is managed by the Government of Canada through CoRE, a Crown corporation. Inquiries should be directed to Lana Schmitz, the Contracting Authority, via email at lana.schmitz@recoveryexcellence.org. While the procurement is federally administered, all services are intended to support initiatives within Alberta, with no set-asides specified and no NAICS code assigned. The process is designed to ensure timely access to high-quality, specialized expertise to advance mental health and addiction system improvements.
