2. Summary
Statistics Canada has a requirement for a contractor to complete the print material (i.e., questionnaires, envelopes and letters) production and preparation for distribution requirements for the 2016 Census of Canada (inclusive of both the Census of Population and the Census of Agriculture) in May - June, 2016, and its associated 2014 Behaviour Test (BT) Field Procedures, in October - November, 2014.
Various questionnaires, envelopes, inserts and letters are required to conduct the census. The Contractor will be required to provide all printing, variable imaging (all questionnaires distributed to dwellings are to be imaged with two unique bar codes, a secure access code, geographic information, in most cases an address and in certain cases, a name), preparation for mailing/distribution and short term storage activities that are to meet the specific operational and technical requirements. Although the associated 2014 BT Field Procedures will not demand the same volumes as required for 2016, all printer processes must be in place and ready to be exercised for the 2014 BT Field Procedures as envisaged in 2016. Statistics Canada's approach to mail-out and data collection for the 2016 Census will follow an approach that will involve three stages of mail-out.
The Contract will be in effect from the date of award until March 31, 2017.
