Language assessments and French second language training services

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has a requirement for Professional Services to:

1) provide both group and individual French Second Language Training and French language assessment services to its employees. The training may be either full-time, part-time, distance (virtual) learning or in classroom, furnished at the Offeror’s premises or on CNSC premises.

The objective of the second language training is to help employees attain/maintain the following levels in their second language:

a) Levels B and/or C in Reading Comprehension;
b) Levels B and/or C in Written Expression; and
c) Levels B and/or C in Oral Proficiency.

Each Departmental Individual Standing Offer (DISO) awarded by CNSC will be for a period of three (3) years from the Standing Offer date of award, with the irrevocable option to extend the period of the Standing Offer by up to four (4) additional one-year (1) periods, under the same terms and conditions. Should the CNSC choose to exercise an option period, when the Standing Offer Authority contacts the Offeror to notify them of this intent, the Offeror must provide the rate(s) for the specific option period.

From time to time a Notice may be posted on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) to allow new Offerors to become qualified and to provide the opportunity to refresh solicitation for all streams.
