Regulatory Accounting and Tax Subject Matter Expertise

The Ontario Energy Board is seeking external subject matter expertise in regulatory accounting and taxation to support its case managers and internal teams during the review of utility rate applications and related regulatory proceedings. This procurement aims to supplement existing internal capabilities with specialized knowledge to ensure rigorous, consistent, and high‑quality analysis of complex financial and tax-related components within utility rate filings. The engagement model is assignment‑based, allowing the board to scale support as needed without the commitment of full‑time staffing, thereby maintaining operational flexibility and cost efficiency. Expertise must be readily available to respond to the dynamic nature of regulatory filings and proceedings. Bidders must respond to solicitation number RFSOEBRATSME05152026, with proposals due by May 29, 2026. The opportunity is open under NAICS code 541219 and posted on the Canada Buys procurement portal, with detailed bidding documents accessible via Merx. Interested parties should note that fees may apply to access the solicitation materials, as outlined on Merx’s pricing page. All inquiries should be directed to Mark Jones, Contracting Authority, via email or phone provided in the posting. There is no set‑aside designation, and the work will be performed in support of the Ontario Energy Board’s regulatory functions under the Government of Canada’s organizational structure.
