Integrity of Compensation Modernization Projects Procurement Processes
COMPENSATION COMMUNIQUÉ
September 14, 2004
| SUBJECT: |
Integrity of Compensation Modernization Projects Procurement Processes
|
| |
Public Works and Government Services
Canada (PWGSC) has been apprised of the fact that private consulting firms
have been contacting federal public servants working in the field of compensation,
particularly pensions, to invite them to participate in focus groups outside
working hours. Participants are offered a flat fee for their involvement. |
| |
This communiqué is issued to alert you
to the fact that participation in any such activity, which is not sponsored
by the federal government, is to be discouraged as it could be perceived
as a source of conflict of interest from a procurement perspective. |
| |
Further to a Request for Proposal, PWGSC is
currently involved in the process of allowing a contract to a consulting
firm to address the requirements of the Pension Modernization and therefore
it is of utmost importance that no particular vendor gain an unfair advantage
through actions of our personnel. |
| |
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. |
