French Delivery of ICS Training

The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Coast Guard have issued an Advance Contract Planning Notice for the procurement of qualified French-speaking instructors to deliver Incident Command System (ICS) training. The scope includes the delivery of ICS-300, ICS-400, and position-specific courses in French to personnel and partners in Montreal and Quebec City. This initiative aims to maintain critical training delivery while the Canadian Coast Guard builds its internal capacity to accredit French-language instructors. The estimated contract value is 57,600 CAD, with an initial performance period ending March 31, 2027, and two optional one-year extensions potentially extending the term to March 31, 2029. To qualify, suppliers must provide at least one Lead Instructor and one Unit Instructor who are certified by ICS Canada through an appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction. Essential requirements include a minimum of five years of experience in adult education and five years of operational experience applying ICS principles, specifically within a maritime environment. Instructors must demonstrate proficiency in developing all-hazards scenarios, coordinating with multi-stakeholder environments, and administering written examinations. Training must adhere to ICS Canada standards and accommodate class sizes ranging from four to twenty-four participants. While Kildoon Intellection Inc. has been pre-identified as a supplier, interested parties may submit a Statement of Capabilities to demonstrate they meet these minimum requirements.
