Request for Proposal (RFP) # 1401418-20B
The Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) wishes to retain a firm with expertise in senior executive search services and international reach to assist with the recruitment of a new Chief of Police for the Toronto Police Service (TPS).

Submission Requirements
Proposals must be submitted through the MERX Electronic Bid Submission (“EBS”) System (https://www.merx.com/).

For assistance in using MERX, please contact MERX directly at 1-800-964-MERX or visit the MERX website at www.merx.com.

Proponents are to submit their proposal through the MERX EBS System prior to 1:00:00 P.M. local time on Tuesday September 22, 2020.

Objective
The objective of the project is to provide executive search services to select a new Chief of Police for Toronto.

The TPSB is anticipating engaging the successful firm in October 2020.

In addition to contracting a firm to assist with the executive search services, the TPSB also wishes to retain a firm to provide public consultation services to solicit stakeholder input into the search to select a new Chief of Police for Toronto (please see RFP # 1401418-20A). Interested firms may bid on either or both RFP’s.

It is anticipated that the candidate search will be international in scope.

The TPSB is anticipating making a decision as to the successful candidate in Q1 of 2021 to allow for appropriate notice and transition.

Mandatory Requirements
Proponents must have

A proven track record in providing executive search services to a policing and/or public sector organization of similar size and complexity
At least five years experience providing executive search services
A proven professional network with international reach that will allow the firm to identify preferred candidates for the role
Experience in successfully managing high profile executive searches with keen public and media interest

Only those firms passing the mandatory requirements will move on to the next stage of evaluation

Term of the Contract
The initial period of performance of any contract resulting from this RFP is tentatively scheduled to begin in October 2020, and is estimated to run approximately six months.

If required, the TPSB/TPS reserves the right to extend this contract on a month to month basis, or based on a selection of strategic activities that are determined to be best executed by the successful team.

There is a possibility that contract renewals or extensions may be required for additional executive searches, and shall be at the sole discretion of the TPSB/TPS.

Piggyback (if applicable)
The TPSB/TPS may, upon request, permit other public bodies and the Police Cooperative Purchasing Group (PCPG) to purchase against any part of the contract which may result from this RFP.

Proponents are requested to indicate on the Pricing Submission form if they will extend the pricing, terms and conditions of this proposal to other government agencies including PCPG, if the proponent becomes the successful services provider.

If the successful proponent agrees to this provision, participating agencies may enter into a contract with the successful proponent for the purchase of services described herein based on the terms, conditions, prices, and percentages offered by the proponent. Minor changes in terms and conditions may be negotiated by participating agencies.

Please note: copies of the proponents submission may need to be provided to the interested agency (in confidence) in order to review prior to participating.

Non-Exclusivity
The creation of this RFP shall not be a guarantee of exclusivity.
