    Description

    The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) requires the professional services of a qualified Contractor to provide a 24-hour functional exercise to members of the Headquarters Emergency Response Team (HQ-ERT) or anyone who may play a role in the headquarters response to a crisis abroad. The Contractor will be responsible for the preparation and delivery of one (1) session per year of the contract.

    The Headquarters Emergency Response Team (HQ-ERT) is composed of DFATD employees, mainly from the Security and Emergency Management (CSD) bureau and other areas of the department who are required to work on the HQ response to a crisis abroad affecting a Canadian embassy/consulate (further referred to as “mission”), Canadians or Canadian interests. The HQ-ERT is organized based on the tenets of the Incident Command System (ICS).

    DFATD has a duty of care towards its employees, therefore exercising the HQ-ERT members helps in sensitizing and preparing them in developing the knowledge and skills to manage difficult circumstances related to crises.

    There are security requirements associated with this requirement. For additional information, consult Part 6 - Security, Financial and Other Requirements, and Part 7 - Resulting Contract Clauses. For more information on personnel and organization security screening or security clauses, Bidders should refer to the Contract Security Program of Public Works and Government Services Canada (http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/esc-src/introduction-eng.html) website.

    The initial period of the Contract is from contract award date to July 31, 2020. Contract will include 4 annual option periods for renewal.
