Medical Psychiatry Consultant Services

The government authority in Ontario is seeking a medical psychiatry consultant to provide on-site and off-site psychiatric consulting services. The agency needs to translate medical and clinical findings into functional workplace terms so staff can assess disability entitlement and next steps consistently and defensibly. This service will help the agency support early, safe, and sustainable return-to-work initiatives for employees. The scope of work requires the consultant to review and interpret psychiatric and psychological medical documentation submitted in support of disability claims. This documentation includes case file histories, treating provider reports, and fitness-for-duty or at-work health assessments. The consultant must provide medical opinions on cognitive, psychological, and emotional functional limitations, and recommend accommodation parameters based on mental functioning. Additional responsibilities include assessing the quality of mental health treatment protocols and contacting treating physicians to clarify health, disability, and return-to-work details. The consultant will recommend additional treatment options or specialist referrals, while also providing advisory services, collaboration, compliance, documentation, reporting, and legal and regulatory support. The agency is planning for a contract period of two years. Eligibility is limited to onshore organizations based in Canada. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates.
