Description
Trade Agreement: NONE Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Competitive Procurement Strategy: N/A - P&A/LOI Only Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR COMMERCIAL OFF THE SHELF (COTS) E-LEARNING CONTENT FOR THE CANADA SCHOOL OF PUBLIC SERVICE Background The School is the common learning service provider for the Public Service of Canada. It was created to bring a unified approach to serving the common learning and development needs of public servants and to help ensure that all public service employees across Canada have the knowledge and skills they need to meet the challenges of the public sector of the 21st century. The School supports meeting the learning needs of the Public Service of Canada through training and development that enables the Public Service community to meet evolving challenges in fulfilling their mission of serving Canada and Canadians. The School is committed to promoting a strong corporate culture in the Public Service, fostering a culture of learning, and being a catalyst and resource for the ongoing development of the Public Service as a learning organization. The School manages the operations of a learning portal and learning management system for federal public servants. The learning portal is the delivery site for all e-learning content offered by the School, including e-learning self-paced courses, videos, blogs, performance support tools and a wide range of e-learning resources. The e-learning content offered will be a mix of products developed internally by the School and commercial off-the-shelf content. The e-learning content will be offered by the School at no cost to end users. While there are a total of approximately 260,000 public servants, a segmented approach to accessing the different types of content is expected based on the needs of the various communities of practice. As part of its objective to broaden the range of e-learning content available to public servants, the School requires commercial off-the-shelf self-paced e-learning and video based learning content to add to its learning portal in specific subject domains that match the common learning needs of the public service. More information about the School can be found on its website at the following address: http://www.csps -efpc.gc.ca/index-eng.aspx Objective The purpose of the RFI is to provide industry with an early opportunity to assess and comment on requirements, procurement strategy, evaluation criteria and basis of payment in order to maximize best value to Canada, while reducing potential problems when the bid solicitation is posted.

The RFI information herein will also provide potential Service Providers an update on the procurement in preparation for the eventual bid solicitation.
