REQUIREMENT DETAILS
The RCN’s Naval Training System Transformation (NTST) Program was initiated to correct capability deficiencies in the existing Naval Training System (NTS) and to transition the current NTS to meet the demands of the future fleet. The NTST Program is responsible to develop and deliver an FNTS that provides world class training to RCN and associated Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Department of National Defence (DND) personnel. 

The NTST Program is not a Major Project but rather it is an internal RCN Program that has taken an integrated Systems of Systems approach to manage and ensure the requirements of an FNTS will be achieved. The first stage is to develop the FNTS CONOPS and will be the basis for developing an FNTS Statement of Requirements (SOR). The SOR will guide Minor and Major Projects, and initiatives, of FNTS requirements for delivering training solutions to the RCN.  

ENQUIRIES
All enquiries and other communications regarding this RFI and associated industry engagement activities must be submitted exclusively to the Contracting Authority.

Interested suppliers must refrain from communicating directly with RCN stakeholders or with other Government of Canada representatives, regarding any aspect of this procurement process, including the subject matter described herein.
