RFP Scope: FCC’s Technology Solutions Lending Product (TSLP) team has regular needs to augment its internal staff complement with external full stack developers to work on-site at FCC Corporate Office in Regina, SK. TSLP’s needs fluctuate, but it estimates it fills an average of 5 assignments with external resources annually, with a typical term length of 6 to 12 months.
FCC’s objective through this RFP is to select up to three proponents to serve as TSLP’s preferred resourcing partners through a supply arrangement (SA) for a period of up to three years.
Proponents are advised that FCC is not seeking proposals that would rely primarily on a remote resourcing model. An ability to deploy resources to FCC’s Corporate Office in Regina, SK quickly and cost effectively is a key consideration.
