Battlefield Simulation Training Support Services (SBTSS)

The Department of National Defence is soliciting proposals for Battlefield Simulation Training Support Services (SBTSS) to support the EX MAPLE RESOLVE 2 collective training activity. The primary objective is to provide casualty simulation services that enable Canadian Armed Forces members to practice and maintain essential operational and medical skills, specifically relating to Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) standards. The contract covers a five-day performance period from October 21 to October 25, 2026, at the 5e Ambulance de Campagne in Quebec. The total liability to the contractor is capped at $97,000.00, excluding applicable taxes. The selected contractor must provide a specialized team, including a Project Manager with at least three years of experience, two paramilitary role players, one amputee role player, two specialized makeup artists, and one general support attendant. All personnel must possess functional proficiency in either English or French. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment and simulation props, such as military-style uniforms, replica weapons, surgical cut suits, and simulated amputated limbs. While there is no formal security clearance requirement, all team members must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement that remains in effect indefinitely. Award decisions will be based on the highest combined rating of technical merit and price, using a weighted ratio of 40% for technical merit and 60% for price. To be considered compliant, offers must meet all mandatory technical criteria and achieve a minimum of 25 points during the technical evaluation. Technical merit will be assessed on a 64-point scale, evaluating the expertise of the proposed personnel and the quality of client references in areas such as medical simulation moulage, makeup, and prosthetics. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three distinct sections: a technical offer, a financial offer, and the required submission and declaration forms.
