Only one Offeror (consult the training schedules) and (consult the list of Offerors and hourly rates (available only on the Government of Canada network) for the exact address).

Make-up sessions can start at any time.

Offeror Selection Method
Tier 1

Identified Users can issue orders in accordance with the Government Contract Regulations, section 6 b) (i) (current estimated value of $40,000).

This method will be used when the value of the total need is estimated at less than the limit mentioned in the Government Contracts Regulations. If an order issued under this threshold must be amended to an amount above this threshold, the Identified User must document his file accordingly.

Tier 2—(call-ups up to a value of $400,000)

There is only one Offeror, you can send your call-up directly to the Offeror.

Step 3: Creation and issuance of call-up

The Identified User will send a call-up to the Offeror at least 10 business days before the start of the session and will attach the language placement test report.

Minimum information provided in each Call-up

The Offeror may refuse the call-up if it is non-compliant or incomplete and thus result in the loss of processing priority of the call-up.

Step 4: Confirmation of group creation

The Offeror must submit written confirmation to the Identified User(s) no later than 5 business days before the training, including:

Cancellation fees and report

In accordance with Part 7, Section A, paragraph 7.14, “Cancellation and Rescheduling of Training”, the following cancellation fees will be applied for each learner for whom a cancellation or rescheduling of training is requested. No other fees or compensation of any kind shall be payable by Canada.

Unforeseen Absences

The Identified User shall pay the Offeror for any of a learner’s absences, and such absences cannot be made up at the end of the training.
