Calian Group Ltd. announced a $250 million amendment to its Health Care Provider Recruitment (HCPR) contract with the Department of National Defence (DND).
The amendment means the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and its members will continue to receive essential health services to support their operational readiness and well-being.
Calian has worked under the Health Support Services Contract since 2005 and since 2018, the Health Care Provider Recruitment (HCPR) and has delivered physicians, nurses, dentists and mental health professionals to CAF clinics across Canada.
“We are proud to play a role in safeguarding the health of Canadian Armed Forces members,” Kevin Ford, Calian CEO, stated in a press release. “Operational readiness is rooted in resilience—and that starts with a healthy force. This work matters and we take pride in supporting the well-being of CAF members so they can focus on the mission.”
The contract amendment activates a previously approved option, combining unspent funds from Option Period 5 with planned funding for Period 6 to ensure uninterrupted healthcare delivery across CAF clinics.
This award adds to Calian’s $1.6B contract backlog—two-thirds tied to its defence business—reflecting its ongoing partnerships with Canadian and international military clients.
“This is more than a contract. It’s a commitment to those who serve our country. Our teams across Canada take that responsibility seriously,” Ford stated in a press release.
