People Management and Executive Leadership Program - PMELP

Request for Proposal (RFP)

PEOPLE MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Description of the requirement:

The Department of Finance requires the services of a supplier to design and deliver a customized combined program on people management and executive leadership for its feeder group. The number of participants will range from 16 to 26 per offering for Finance Canada employees in the National Capital Region.

The feeder group is primarily comprised of senior economists and financial policy analysts who will eventually progress their careers into an executive management position. Most of the senior analysts would benefit from acquiring competencies in people management, in leadership and in developing an in-depth understanding of transitioning in an upper management role. The department is looking at providing the feeder group the opportunity to: develop their people management and leadership skills and competencies. Due primarily to their expertise, and even though they are senior, the reality remains that most employees in the feeder group at FIN will most likely have no staff to supervise at the entry level (EX-01).

Finance is a knowledge-based central agency. Many of its upcoming executives will remain in the department throughout their career due primarily to their specialized expertise. A supplier has previously provided a customized Executive (EX) Leadership Program for EX minus 01 and 02 level managers focused on core leadership competencies.

Proposed period of contract:

The proposed period of contract shall be from date of contract award to March 31, 2018.

The contract includes two one (1) year option periods to be exercised at the discretion of Finance Canada as follows:

Option Year 1: April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019

Option Year 2: April 1, 2019 – March 31, 2020
