The Correctional Service Canada has a requirement to provide Optometrist services to offenders at Warkworth Institution.

Objectives: The contractor must provide optometry services to the offender population at Warkworth Institution. CSC does not guarantee a level of service. The level of service required will be entirely based upon the number of referrals from Chief of Health Services at the Institution. The contractor and Institutional Chief Health Services will schedule the dates of the clinical sessions by mutual agreement. The contractor must hold institutional clinics within CSC’s core business hours of 08:00 to 16:00 hours, Monday to Friday. The contractor must discuss the need for any additional sessions with the Institutional Chief Health Services. The contractor must not proceed with any additional sessions without the Institutional Chief Health Services’ approval.

Deliverables: To provide optometry services to the offender population in accordance with professionally accepted standards including relevant reports and findings in the provision of vision care to offenders. CSC estimates that the maximum number of clinic hours will be 240 per year or 60 four hour clinics per year. However, bidders are to note that this estimate does not constitute a commitment from CSC that actual clinic hours will be consistent with this estimate.
