TRAINING SUPPORT "CIBS"

Background
To properly train Canadian Forces personnel, Foundation and High
Readiness (HR) Collective Training Events (CTE) must include
immersing the Primary Training Audience (PTA) into a replicated
operational environment.  This is achieved through a dynamically
scripted CTE simulating the notional operational theatre
described within the Contemporary Common Training Scenario
(CCTS).  The Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre (CMTC), located
on Canadian Forces Base Wainwright is the Canadian Army's lead
agency in the design and execution of HR CTE.  In addition to
the standard Exercise Control (EXCON) functions, CMTC provides
replicated: Opposing Forces (OPFOR), Contemporary Operational
Environment Forces (COEFOR) and Observer Controller Trainers
(OCTs).  The COEFOR training support is greatly enhanced through
the participation of culturally, ethnically and linguistically
accurate civilian role players replicating the Host Nation
Government, Non-Government Organizations/International Agencies
(NGOs) and the general civilian populace described within the
CCTS.  The integration of contracted Civilians in the
Battlespace (CIBs) is fundamental to this requirement.  The
Contractor will be required to work closely with CMTC to support
training events with a duration of eight (8) to twenty-five (25)
days; exclusive of pre-exercise, exercise and post exercise
training days.

Requirement
The Department of National Defence has a requirement for the
delivery of civilian role players, casualty simulations,
training props and associated on-site exercise management and
exercise planning, in support of Canadian Army Collective
Training Events.  

The Contractor will be required to provide on an "as and when
required" basis through the issuance of Task Authorizations
(TAs), a contingent of civilian "actors" or role-players who
represent "Civilians in the Battlespace (CIBS)" in various
training exercises at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre
located at the Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, Wainwright,
Alberta.

The Period of the Contract will be from 15 January 2013
(estimated) to 31 December 2015 with an option to extend the
contract for three additional one year periods.

Security Requirement
There is a security requirement associated with this
requirement. For additional information, Bidders must 
consult Part 6 - Security, Financial and Other Requirements, and
Part 7 - Resulting Contract
Clauses of the Request for Proposal (RFP) document.

Demonstration
As part of the technical evaluation, bidders who comply with the
mandatory requirements will be required to stage a demonstration
of their capabilities.  This demonstration will be held at the
Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, Wainwright, Alberta.  The
demonstration will be conducted at no cost to Canada.  

DND anticipates that the demonstrations will be held during the
week of November 26-30, 2012.

regarding this requirement including the mandatory requirements,
