Evaluation Services to Build an Indigenous Evaluation Framework for the Setting New Directions strategic plan.The Contract is for the provision of Indigenous-centered evaluation services to assess the outcomes of the Tri-agency Setting New Directions strategic plan (2020–present), with a mandate to develop and apply a mixed-methods framework grounded in relational accountability and Indigenous data sovereignty. The evaluation will examine performance across governance, institutional, and community domains, generating evidence-based findings and actionable recommendations to inform future policy and program design for Indigenous research and research training in Canada. This procurement is set aside under the federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB), and only eligible Indigenous-owned businesses—such as those owned or operated by Band Councils, Tribal Councils, or registered in the Indigenous Business Directory—are eligible to bid. The Offeror must demonstrate proven experience in decolonizing evaluation practices and integrating Indigenous traditional and holistic knowledge into assessment frameworks, with at least one relevant project completed within the past five years. All deliverables must be provided in English and fully comply with federal privacy legislation and OCAP® principles, ensuring respect for Indigenous data governance. The contract operates under a firm, all-inclusive pricing model with a maximum budget ceiling of $180,000 CAD, and payments are milestone-based, tied to the delivery of five key outputs: an Evaluation Plan and Budget (Fall 2026), a Mid-term Report (March 2027), a Draft Final Report (January 31, 2028), and a Final Report with PowerPoint presentation (March 1, 2028). The place of performance is the National Capital Region, with virtual meetings permitted via platforms like MS Teams or Zoom. The Contractor must maintain comprehensive, machine-readable records of all costs and expenditures for seven years after final payment and allow Canada or its representatives access to these records at any time. Canada retains full copyright ownership of all deliverables, and the Contractor is responsible for securing necessary insurance at its own expense without reducing liability under the contract. Bids must be submitted by June 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM, and must be accompanied by completed declaration forms, including an Indigenous Eligibility Certification and Integrity Declaration. Evaluation is weighted heavily toward demonstrated reciprocity and sustained relationships with Indigenous communities, project similarity, and specific expertise, with a passing threshold of 60 out of 85 possible points. The Contractor is an independent entity, not an employee of the Government of Canada, and must adhere strictly to ethics and conflict of interest requirements, including prohibitions against any direct
