This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) is an invitation by Ornge to prospective proponents to submit proposals for the recruitment of Fixed Wing & Rotor Wing Pilots as further described in Section A of the RFP Particulars (Appendix D) (the “Deliverables”).
Ornge is a regulated not for profit company that provides air and land ambulance services under an agreement with the Ministry of Health. Included in the functions of Ornge are the roles inherent in the procurement, maintenance, dispatch, staffing and operation of a fleet of land ambulances, fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft. The medical teams provide services aboard aircraft and vehicles staffed with highly trained paramedics and pilots.
Ornge has over 700 employees, including paramedics, pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers, transport medicine physicians and dispatch communications officers both medical and flight.
Ornge performs most of its recruitment in house however from time to time Ornge requires the assistance of a specialised recruitment firm to work on specific projects where Ornge may not have the required specialized experience.
For this engagement Ornge requires the following specialized streams of recruitment:
- Rotor Wing Pilots
- Fixed Wing Pilots
Ornge has been experiencing challenges in recruiting rotor wing and fixed wing pilots, contributed large in part due to a shortage of pilots and turnover due to increased competition within the sector. Ornge is looking to partner with a recruitment firm that specializes or has expertise in aviation and can support the recruitment of qualified rotor wing and fixed-wing pilots.
Ornge provides air and land ambulance services under an agreement with the Ontario Ministry of Health. Additional information about Ornge is available at: www.ornge.ca.
