The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of coming together as a community of public servants, including to help each other find work alternatives. The Canada School of Public Service is actively moving towards secure, cloud-based systems that will provide improvements in system availability, functionality and usability for all learners.

As you know, we are currently in the process of procuring a new modern digital learning platform to deliver the Next Generation of Learning.  

The goal of this Agile procurement process in collaboration with Public Service and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is to assess our top two highest scoring vendors, D2L Brightspace and SAP SuccessFactors which recently delivered prototypes.  

In partnership with Public Services and Procurement Canada, the School has run an agile, competitive procurement process to replace its current learning management system. The School is pleased to announce the top two vendors of its Next Generation Digital Learning Environment request for proposals: D2L Brightspace and SAP SuccessFactors.

200 testers from over 35 departments and agencies will assess both D2L Brightspace’s and SAP SuccessFactor’s prototypes. With their help, we will be able to find the best solution possible to provide you and the rest of the public service with the best learning experience possible.

Each tester will be given access to the two prototypes with scripts. These scripts will help assess the prototypes and provide individual scores for each one of the vendors. Testers will be helping us evaluate the following:

<li>The quality of Official Languages of the various prototypes.</li>

The testing period will be held from May 25 to June 19, 2020. You may also consult our Information session’s presentation here (add link) for additional information.

We are also seeking technical specialists to assess the prototypes for compliance with official languages and accessibility (WCAG 2.0) standards. All scores from the user scenarios will be gathered and combined with the financial submissions to determine the highest-scoring vendor. The winning vendor will be awarded the final contract, and implementation of the new platform will begin.

==<strong>What will the CSPS do with your testing?</strong>==

Once all the scores are gathered and combined with the financial submissions, we will then determine the highest-scoring vendor.  

The winning vendor will then be awarded the final contract, and implementation of the new platform will begin.
