AI Contract Overview
The contract involves providing Standard First Aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) with Automated External Defibrillator (AED) vocational training to offenders at federal correctional institutions in the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia regions. The Correctional Service of Canada, through CORCAN, requires third-party certification courses delivered on an as-needed basis, covering CPR levels A and C, and AED training. The contractor must supply qualified instructors, all necessary training materials, protective equipment, and handle the delivery and storage of these materials at the institutions. Training must be conducted in English for Nova Scotia sites and bilingual (English and French) for New Brunswick sites, with clear communication skills necessary for the instructors. The contractor must also provide course completion certificates and participant lists to the designated CSC manager within 21 days after each course. The solicitation allows for up to two separate contracts, one for New Brunswick and one for Nova Scotia, with bidders able to submit proposals for one or both regions, provided they can support all institution sites within the region(s). This procurement is restricted to Canadian suppliers and follows a lowest-priced compliant bid strategy without any trade agreements, Indigenous set-asides, or land claim considerations. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with options to renew for two additional one-year terms. Security requirements apply given the nature of the correctional environment. Bidders can submit documents in either official language, and further details, including the statement of work, can be accessed via the Canada Buys tender platform. Post-award, bidders may request a debriefing, and Procurement Assistance Canada offers free seminars to help suppliers navigate federal procurement processes.
