5000052116 Bilingual Web Based Applicant Tracking and Career Site Hosting

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) requires the services of a Contractor to provide bilingual applicant tracking and career site hosting services to streamline and automate its recruitment and hiring processes. This service is critical for the efficiency of the hiring processes of the CNSC. It provides a centralized database to track and manage candidates and enables self-serve capability for applicants. In addition, it allows for the management of both internal and external hiring processes, which includes the creation and posting of jobs, the screening of candidates and resume management, and communication with those involved in the process. The applicant tracking service also enables both operational and strategic work and decisions through quick and easy access to recruitment metrics and information.

The purpose of this advance contract award notice (ACAN) is to signal the CNSC’s intention to award a contract for these services to:

Conseillers en gestion et informatique CGI Inc.

1350 boulevard René-Levesque Ouest, 1^er étage

Montreal, Quebec H3G 1T4

Before awarding a contract, however, the CNSC would like to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in this ACAN, by submitting a statement of capabilities within the posting period for this ACAN, which is 15 calendar days.

If, during the posting period, other potential suppliers submit a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in this ACAN, the CNSC may proceed to a full tendering process via the Government Electronic Tendering Service or by inviting bids directly from suppliers.

If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in the ACAN, a contract will be awarded to the above-noted supplier.
