Violence Risk and Threat Assessment Support Service

The City of Lethbridge, Alberta, requires professional Violence Threat Risk Assessment services to prevent and reduce the risk of workplace violence. The municipality is seeking to address potential threats including self-directed, sexual, and domestic violence within its organization. To solve this problem, the selected provider must lead the assessment process and deliver practical, actionable risk mitigation and safety planning recommendations. The scope of work covers conducting comprehensive assessments using scientifically validated, structured threat assessment tools and behaviorally oriented management practices. The service provider must analyze the nature, credibility, and seriousness of risks posed by or toward employees as situations evolve. All deliverables, including the final detailed assessment reports, must utilize a trauma-informed approach, legally defensible methodologies, and evidence-based findings aligned with city policy and applicable legislation. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located in Canada. The agency expects the performance of all work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, though the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is openly looking for proposals. The agency requires all clarification questions to be submitted no later than July 9, 2026.
