Canada intends to issue Regional Master Standing Offers (RMSOs) for its French language training requirements in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Standing offers issued under this RFSO will be divided into two separate tiers. Each of the tiers has a financial evaluation, a method of issuing standing offers and a different method for issuing call-ups. Please see the RFSO for further details regarding the tiers, evaluation and the Statement of Work (Annex A).

The period during which call-ups can be made against the Standing Offers (SOs) is twelve (12) months from the date the SOs are issued. Canada reserves the right to extend the term of the SOs for three (3) additional one (1) year periods.

There are security requirements associated with the requirement of the Standing Offer. For additional information, see Part 6 - Security, Financial and Insurance Requirements, and Part 7 - Standing Offer and Resulting Contract Clauses. For more information on personnel and organization security screening or security clauses, offerors should refer to the Contract Security Program of Public Works and Government Services Canada (http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/esc-src/introduction-eng.html) website.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Agreement Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Honduras Free Trade Agreement, the Canada? Panama Free trade agreement, the Canada - Peru Free Trade Agreement, and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
