The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to seek a partner agency to work with our organization to assist International Students in locating safe and affordable homestay accommodation. We are seeking a ‘full-service’ provider, capable of providing a comprehensive ‘arrival to departure’ program, including any necessary pre-arrival components.

Critical elements of the comprehensive ‘full-service’ program will include, but are not limited to:

Coordination of all required documentation to support homestay students and through all aspects of their period of study, from pre-arrival requirements to safe departure.
Comprehensive selection and screening processes for the recruiting of homestay families.
Resources and services to support students and families in all aspects of a successful homestay experience.
Comprehensive safety and emergency response protocols and plans to support students, families, and the ISP.
A documented communication protocol for working with overseas parents, agents, and partner organizations.
Legal custodianship services for minors travelling to Canada.

Bidders are required to provide documentation fully detailing their organization’s processes and procedures to provide and support the safe care and accommodation of international students.

It is the intent that the contract resulting from this Request for Proposal shall cover Louis Riel School Division’s normal requirements as described herein for one (1) year beginning July 1, 2021. The Division reserves the right to extend the contract for four (4) additional consecutive years to a maximum of five (5) years if mutually agreed between the two parties.

Due to COVID limitations and the recovery of the international education market, an alternative start date is negotiable based on the submission of a proposed timeline and transition plan.
