Online Examination Platform Development

The contract seeks the design and development of a secure, web-based examination platform tailored for mine supervisors and shift bosses operating in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The system must support robust user authentication to ensure only authorized personnel can access exams, incorporate timed testing protocols to maintain integrity, and include advanced anti-cheating measures such as browser lockdown, screen monitoring, and activity logging. Automated scoring will be required to provide immediate feedback upon exam completion, and the platform must generate official certificates upon successful passage, formatted for official use and recordkeeping. All functionality must be optimized for the remote and often low-bandwidth environments common in these regions. The platform must comply with federal security and privacy standards given its use by government-regulated mining personnel, and development must be completed with consideration to accessibility and usability across diverse devices and technical skill levels. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 541511 by the Workers Safety and Compensation Commission, part of the Government of Canada, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026. Performance is expected to be delivered entirely within the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, with no physical office specified, implying remote development and deployment. The system will serve as a critical tool for ensuring competency and safety compliance across the northern mining industry.
