The Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is seeking qualified contractors to provide professional mediation and financial counselling services on an as-needed basis in Alberta through a Task Authorization Contract. This opportunity is for a five-year period and aims to award four contracts. The services support the Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS), which helps farmers experiencing financial difficulties by offering free, confidential, and voluntary mediation. The process involves a mediator and a financial consultant working collaboratively to facilitate communication between farmers and their creditors, guiding both parties toward a mutually agreeable resolution while maintaining neutrality and confidentiality throughout. Mediators are responsible for leading mediation sessions, working with the financial consultant to understand the farmer's recovery plan, and preparing formal agreements once consensus is reached. The sensitive nature of the service requires strict confidentiality, ensuring all information shared is used solely for the mediation process. Interested parties must submit their responses by the specified deadline, with all inquiries directed to the designated contracting authority at the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

The Programs Branch (PB) of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has requirements on an "as and when requested" basis for professional resources with expertise and skillsets for the delivery of financial counselling and mediation services. This requirement is to establish a Task Authorization Contract with a qualified Contractor's for services in Alberta. It is intended to result in the award of 4 (four) contracts for 5 (five) years. The Farm Debt Mediation Service (FDMS) offers free financial counselling and mediation services to farmers who are having difficulties meeting their financial obligations. It is a voluntary, private and confidential service that brings farmers and their creditors together with a Mediator in a neutral forum to reach a mutually acceptable solution. The FDMS Administrator will assign a Financial Consultant and a Mediator to work with the farmer through the mediation process. Confidentiality is extremely important to the quality and effectiveness of the service. Information obtained from the farmer and their creditor(s) is used for the sole purpose of mediation and is shared only among the parties involved in the mediation process. The Mediator will facilitate communication between the farmer and their creditor(s), guide them through the mediation process, and remain neutral throughout. The Mediator will work collaboratively with the Financial Consultant to understand the context of the file, including the recovery plan developed by the farmer and the Financial Consultant. The Mediator will lead the mediation meeting and work with the parties toward a mutually acceptable solution. When the farmer and their creditor(s) reach an agreement, the Mediator will prepare the written arrangement and obtain the signatures of all participants.
