The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development is seeking organizations to pre-qualify as Service System Managers (SSMs) for Integrated Employment Services (IES) across Ontario. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is a pre-qualification step only and will not result in contract awards; organizations that are pre-qualified will be eligible for direct invitations to future Calls for Proposals (CFPs), with CFPs anticipated in 2027 for 12 catchment areas and in 2028 for 3 catchment areas and potential additional opportunities over time. IES aims to improve Ontarians’ access to local employment services, help people find and retain jobs, strengthen connections between the province’s employment and social assistance systems, and support employers with their workforce needs. SSMs will be responsible for overseeing the planning, coordination, and delivery of employment services within defined catchment areas and may deliver services directly or through contracted third parties.

This opportunity is valuable for organizations that can manage regional employment service systems and coordinate third-party providers; key considerations include that this RFQ only pre-qualifies suppliers (no immediate contracts), anticipated CFP timelines in 2027 and 2028 for specified catchment areas, and the need for capacity to oversee planning, coordination and delivery across defined areas to meet IES objectives.
