DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
The Department of National Defence requires language training services aimed at dispensing English and French Second Language Training to the military personnel in nine regions within Canada. The services will be required on an "as and when requested" basis authorized through the use of call-ups issued by Identified Users. This training is given either full or part time, in classrooms furnished by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) or at Offeror's premises as the case may be that are located in the Canadian Provinces and Territories identified at Appendix 1 - Course Forecast by CAF Bases and Wings of Annex A - Statement of Work.
CONTEXT
The purpose of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Second Official Language Education and Training (SOLET) is to deliver courses and services to help military personnel, including military and civilian personnel of allied forces, in order to meet the specific needs set by the Government of Canada for the Department of National Defence (DND) regarding bilingualism in operations and in the workplace. On rare occasions, a very limited number of DND civilian employees may participate in CAF language programs and services. SOLET is offered on a full or part-time basis in classrooms provided by the CAF and/or in rooms provided by the Offeror (as required) in Canadian provinces and territories.
SOLET is also offered on a self-paced part-time basis in a lab with the help of a teacher in a DND lab.
The Canadian Defence Academy (CDA) is responsible for managing SOLET for the CAF. The delivery of SOLET is decentralized and is implemented by the following identified users:
a. the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN);
b. the Canadian Army (CA);
c. the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF); and
d. the Canadian Defence Academy (CDA).
These identified users are responsible for delivering SOLET in certain CAF bases and wings, which are divided into regions and provinces (see Appendix 1 - Scheduled Courses in CAF Bases and Wings). Identified users designate a project authority (PA) as the local SOLET contact person for each base or wing as indicated in the standing offer call-up.
