ATTENTION: This solicitation is unlike a typical solicitation in that you will be submitting your response to the requirement using our recently developed Automated Bidding Solution or "Bidding on the Phone". Please read below to find out the exciting details!

The Center of Expertise in Agile and Innovative Procurement (CoEAIP), responsible for exploring and testing agile and innovative procurement practices at Shared Services Canada (SSC), has a requirement for a Learning Designer (LD) to support the development of the Agile Procurement Learning Initiative (APLI). The LD will be responsible for providing expert advice on and improving learning by developing training modules while integrating various other creative elements into the training design(s). Canada may award one or more contracts as a result of this solicitation.

As part of Shared Services Canada Scale Up initiative, this procurement is a set-aside for micro and small businesses that are either businesses owned or led by under-represented groups or indigenous businesses. ScaleUp is a social procurement initiative led by Shared Services Canada, in collaboration with TECHNATION, to increase the diversity of bidders on government contracts. Register on Canada's digital marketplace to increase your visibility and access even more future opportunities. It's free.
