This requirement is for Employment and Social Development Canada.

This procurement is conditionally set aside under the federal government Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). In accordance with the requirements for conditionally set aside procurements of the PSIB, if there are two (2) or more responsive bids with a valid Indigenous Business Certification, only those responsive bids will be eligible to be awarded a contract; otherwise, all responsive bids will be eligible. For more information on Indigenous business requirements of the Set-aside Program for Indigenous Business, see Annex 9.4 of the Supply Manual.

Description of the Requirement:

The Contractor must provide English, virtual facilitator-led ArcGIS training through public offerings to participants in different time zone of Western Canada and Territories Region. All training will consist of lecture, demonstrations, and practice modules. The primary objective of ArcGIS training is to strategically expand the use of ArcGIS to advance our regional efforts in the mapping field. By building greater capacity in Geographic Information System (GIS), a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing spatial data, it allows integration of many other types of data.

The training will provide to the analysts of the Strategic Services Branch (SSB) the ability to calculate spatial location and organize layers of information into visualizations using maps and using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.0 and newer versions. With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations.
