Financial Counseling and Case Preparation

The contract involves providing financial counseling and case preparation services to farmers, with a focus on conducting detailed financial assessments to evaluate their economic positions and identify viable recovery options. Contractors are expected to prepare comprehensive case files that document financial data, analyze debt repayment capacity, and assess eligibility for government support programs, all to support the readiness of farmers for mediation processes. The work requires a deep understanding of agricultural economics, financial reporting, and rural financial distress dynamics to deliver tailored recommendations that promote long-term viability. This subcontract is issued by the Government of Canada’s Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food and is targeted for performance in the National Capital Region and across Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, with responses due by June 15, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 523991 indicates the service falls under Other Financial Investment Activities, suggesting the role may involve advisory and analytical functions rather than direct lending or asset management. Contractors must be prepared to operate within federal agricultural policy frameworks and demonstrate experience in handling sensitive financial data to support client recovery pathways under government oversight.
