International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) Training

Canada is seeking qualified providers to deliver International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) certification training in a classroom setting for Indigenous Services Canada in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a requirement that all training include full equipment tailored for northern nursing practice scenarios. The initial contract term spans three years, running from the date of award through March 31, 2029, with the Government of Canada holding the irrevocable option to extend the contract for up to two additional one-year periods, each requiring at least 15 days’ written notice before expiration. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the strict deadline of June 15, 2026, at 17:00 EST, and will be evaluated based on a trade-off approach weighing technical merit at 60% and price at 40%. Technical proposals must achieve a minimum score of 40 out of 80 points to be considered acceptable, with evaluation focused on instructor accreditation, prior experience delivering ITLS courses, and completeness of supporting documentation. Price scoring uses a ratio-based system relative to the lowest compliant offer. Offerors must be Canadian suppliers or from eligible trading partners, certify compliance with the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity, and confirm they are not ineligible under the Ineligibility and Suspension Policy. They must also provide attestations regarding the availability and consent of proposed personnel, with substitutions permitted only upon government approval. The contract mandates that training services be delivered in Canada, and the contractor must maintain a Canadian business location. No security clearances are required, and while no specific delivery points or FOB terms are detailed, all work must meet industry-recognized quality standards and be subject to inspection and acceptance solely by the Government of Canada. Invoices must include the client department name, Procurement Business Number, and applicable financial codes, and must be submitted electronically without hyperlinks or compressed files. The Contracting Authority is Geordin Crosbie of Indigenous Services Canada, with no assigned COR or COTR noted. The solicitation replaces a prior notice, and pricing detail is not provided in the public document, preventing estimation of total contract value.
