    Description

    This requirement is for Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

    Objective:

    The Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) is to establish one (1) National Individual Standing Offer (NISO) for the delivery of the requirement detailed in the RFSO, to the Identified Users across Canada, including areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs).

    The goal of this project is to provide one-stop-shop production and distribution of a full range of documents in alternative formats: services for print, web publishing and electronic media, production art, illustration services to meet the alternative publishing and other needs of the Government of Canada on an “as and when required” basis.

    ESDC endorses the rights of all citizens to have equal access to information, programs and services.

    ESDC provides various documents in alternate formats—either electronically or in conventional print form in English and French—to the Canadian public. Many documents prepared for conventional print publication contain elements that are not comprehensible in an alternate format (e.g. footnotes, charts, sidebars). It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to provide the services required to prepare the texts for production in alternate formats by modifying the original electronic final English and French text versions to ensure comprehension.

    Alternative formats include: Large print, Braille, MP3, e-text, Daisy-Digital Accessible Information System and Accessible PDF files.

    Proposed period of contract:

    The contract period is estimated to be from 33 months with up to two (2) additional one (1) year option periods.

    Contract duration

    Refer to the description above for full details.
