    NATURE OF REQUIREMENT
    
    The Canada School of the Public Service (CSPS), Atlantic Region, requires the on-demand production of various spiral-bound course materials in black only and colour, along with loose sheet inserts, handouts and larger wide-format posters on an “if and when” required basis.

    Stream B - Halifax, Nova Scotia Office (address provided in the Annex “A” Statement of Work)
    
    Each stream will be evaluated separately. Bidders bidding on this Request for Proposal are to clearly identify if they are bidding on Stream A or Stream B or bidding on both Stream A and Stream B. This requirement may result in the award of two (2) separate contracts, one (1) for Stream A and one (1) for Stream B.
    
    The Contract or Contracts will be in effect for a period of one year (1) from the date of award of Contract with the irrevocable option to extend the Contract by two (2) additional one (1) year periods.

There are two (2) delivery points for the printed course materials: Moncton, NB and Halifax, NS. 
    
    Based on historical data, the 2016-2017 yearly volume related to the courses offered by the CSPS offices in Moncton and Halifax, is approximately 255,000 impressions per year, which produces manuals of as little as 60 impressions for one manual to 700 impressions for the largest ones.  This number does not represent a firm commitment that the same quantities will be produced under this Contract and is to serve only as a historical basis for evaluation.
    
    There will be two (2) levels of services applicable to both streams, Regular Service and Rush Service.  Regular Service.
    
    The requirement is not subject to any security requirements.
