On-demand Moving Services for Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) in Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

The Contract is for on-demand moving services to support Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) across Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, with the intent to award up to four separate regional contracts under Solicitation Number 100032038.
