Description

1.2 Summary

1.2.1 The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) has appointed a group of employees to non-imperative positions, and they need to reach a higher level of proficiency in French as a second language, level CCC.

The objective of these Standing Offers is to hire up to four (4) Offerors who will provide full-time French-as-a-second-language training services.

The Offeror will provide full-time French-as-a-second-language group training in its facilities to a cohort of seven (7) to nineteen (19) pre-assigned groups of candidates; each group will have between four (4) and six (6) candidates. These candidates have all had their training needs assessed, using the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) PFL2 A B &C, short or long program as a point of reference. Candidates who need less training will be added at later dates. They must all achieve level CCC in French as a second language, in accordance with the standards of the Public Service Commission of Canada (PSC).

The Offeror is required to propose between seven (7) to nineteen (19) instructors and one pedagogical advisor to the Department to carry out the tasks set out in section 5.0, Scope of Work.

The majority of the work to be performed is defined, but the precise nature and timing of some of the required training groups will not be known until the service is required during the Standing Offer period. The duration of the training will be potentially 27,900 hours in total, spread over a period of potentially 91 weeks. The training may begin with only one (1) learner per class; other learners may be added to form a group.

1.3 Security Requirements

There are security requirements associated with the requirement of the Standing Offer. For additional information, see Part 6 - Security, Financial and Insurance Requirements, and Part 7 - Standing Offer and Resulting Contract Clauses.
