RFSQ - Fraud Investigation Service Supply Arrangement

This Request for Supplier Qualifications ('RFSQ') is an invitation by the Province of Nova Scotia (the 'Province') on behalf of the Department of Service Nova Scotia ('SNS') to prospective Respondents to qualify in accordance with Evaluation of Responses (Part 2) for eligibility to potentially provide Fraud Investigation Services as further described in the RFSQ Particulars(Appendix B) (the 'Deliverables'). This RFSQ is being conducted pursuant to the Nova Scotia Sustainable Procurement Policy and Procurement Manual. The Internal Audit Centre ('IAC') is an independent and objective assurance and consulting division of SNS established to add value to government operations. We use a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve risk management, internal controls, and governance processes. Internal audit is a cornerstone for good governance, supporting effective, efficient, and economic management and the continuous revitalization of government. Our clients span across all government departments. Among other audit, advisory and risk services, the IAC conducts fraud investigations when there is suspicion of wrongdoing or where our expertise in investigations is required, as outlined by the Nova Scotia’s Fraud Policy. The IAC is seeking competitive proposals from qualified proponent firms (including, but not limited to sole proprietorships, companies, and partnerships) for the provision of Fraud Investigation Services. Respondents who pass the Mandatory Requirements and acquire the Rated Criteria minimum threshold score will be placed on the prequalified list of suppliers (Selected Respondents). Only Selected Respondents will receive a Master Agreement which will need to be signed and returned to the Province. Pre-signing of contracts at the application phase will not be part of the process.
