The Government of Canada is seeking to contract with a third
party service provider (working alone or in partnership with
other proven organizations) to develop and administer an
electronic version of the Canadian citizenship test across
Canada. The test content would remain the property of the
Government of Canada and intellectual property for the newly
developed software would rest with the service provider. 

The service provider would set and collect a service charge to
applicants for the test. No part of this service charge would be
provided to the Government of Canada.  At this time, it is
proposed that the contract period commence in 2014 and end in
2019.

As such, this Request for Information (RFI) will serve to seek
the views/feedback of interested companies on the proposed
requirements and strategy for the testing facilities to
administer the electronic citizenship test. Interested companies
are being asked to provide feedback on the proposed approach,
and this feedback will be considered in the development of the
formal Request for Proposal (RFP) which will be used to solicit
bids for this endeavor.

Additional objectives of this RFI are to:

1.	Solicit feedback and recommendations on the Draft
Solicitation document attached to this RFI; and

2.	Solicit industry knowledge and expertise with regard to best
practices that would increase the likelihood of the project's
success.

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the
award of any contract. As a result, potential suppliers of any
goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock
or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any
information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in
the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any
potential supplier responds to this RFI will not preclude that
supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the
procurement of any of the goods and services described in this
RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply
intended to solicit feedback from industry with respect to the
matters described in this RFI.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
