Requirement Details

Description of Work:

The Bureau of Business Systems and Operations, the Bureau of Microbial Hazards, the Bureau of Nutritional Sciences, the Bureau of Chemical Safety and the Bureau of Food Surveillance and Science Integration within the Food Directorate, have each developed individual concepts and requirements for custom-built online courses. Health Canada is seeking course development services to design and deliver an online course for the Bureau of Microbial Hazards, with a subsequent option to add up to four additional online courses.

Though many of the core elements of the requirements are common to all five courses, each course has unique differentiating elements such as target audience, functionality requirements, and timelines for development. The initial contract will include the development of one course, with the work beginning in April 2023. The contract will include the possibility to exercise options for up to four additional courses. These options would be exercised between April 2023 and March 31, 2027.

For each course, the Contractor shall provide Health Canada with a unique, custom-built online course including:

• overall project management, work plan development, and project reporting;
• course design, including artwork and audio and visual services, and course development services;
• course design that removes technological barriers to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) accessibility;
• customized online course Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) package;
• quality assurance and product testing;
• and course deployment to Health Canada’s online learning platform.
