Contracting for Professional Services
Contracting for professional services (hc-sc.gc.ca)
The procurement of professional services is governed by the Directive on the Management of Procurement and supported by the Managers Guide: Key Considerations when Procuring Professional Services (“guide”). The guide includes key factors for business owners to consider when deciding to procure professional services, and best practices to structure and manage these contracts in accordance with policy requirements.
Operating Instruction - Approval requirements for proposed professional services contracts
The Operating Instruction identifies the requirements in place at Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada to further strengthen oversight, and support implementation of requirements and considerations when procuring professional services.
Former Public Servant
Contracts with former public servants bear the closest public scrutiny and must reflect fairness in the spending of public funds. As such, additional oversight is necessary to prevent favouritism, preferential treatment, and/or the perception of either.
Effective July 1st, 2023, proposed contracts with former public servants, that were not included in the annual agency procurement planning exercise, must be approved by senior management prior to contract award. The following information is provided to support business owners and contracting authorities at the Public Health Agency of Canada in seeking the required approvals.
Operating Instruction – Approval Process for Proposed Contracts with Former Public Servants
Learn about the requirements for seeking approval prior to entering into a contract with a former public servant, roles and responsibilities, and associated Policy and reporting requirements.
Use the Approval Memo template to seek approval in accordance with the Operating Instruction, prior to entering into a proposed contract with a former public servant.
