Secondary School Engagement

The contract requires the development and hosting of interactive online courses and educational content focused on the International Experience Canada (IEC) program and related Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) initiatives, targeting secondary school students to promote awareness and participation. The contractor must deliver at least one fully developed online course alongside 50, 100, or 150 interactive questions, with pricing to be determined by the offeror, and provide hosting and maintenance services for the duration of the contract. The base performance period runs through March 31, 2028, with a one-year option period available until March 31, 2029, exercisable at the government’s discretion upon 60 days’ written notice. The contract is firm fixed price with no predefined cost estimates, and offers must be submitted via email in unprotected PDF format with a maximum file size of 10MB, organized into three distinct volumes: Technical Offer, Financial Offer, and Offer Submission Forms. Evaluation will prioritize Technical Merit at 70% and Price at 30%, with award based on the highest combined value to ensure best value, not lowest cost. Contractors must be Canadian suppliers or from eligible trading partners under reciprocal procurement rules, must hold a valid Agreement to Implement Employment Equity with Employment and Social Development Canada, and are prohibited from using forced labor, paying contingency fees, or creating conflicts of interest. Security clearances are not required, but all personnel must be qualified and compliant with Canada’s Code of Conduct for Procurement, and records must be retained for seven years after final payment. The government retains full authority to inspect and accept deliverables upon completion, and subcontracting requires prior written approval. No specific physical delivery location is defined, as the work is entirely digital and delivered via online platforms accessible through IEC and IRCC websites.
