Description

The Standards Council of Canada is a federal Crown Corporation with the mandate to promote efficient and effective use of standardization. Located in Ottawa, SCC has a Governing Council comprised of up to 13 members and a staff of approximately 150. The organization reports to Parliament through the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and oversees Canada's standardization network.

SCC coordinates and facilitates the work of Canada’s network of standardization stakeholders and offers a range of standardization-related programs and services that are intended to enhance the social and economic well-being of Canadians.

SCC translates documents intended for internal and external stakeholders, as well as the public, in both official languages.

It has a small in-house translation service and requires a portion of the work to be outsourced. On average, SCC outsources a total of approximately 850,000 words annually (English-French translation, and occasionally French-English translation), based on a variety of unique requirements, varying in size.

In support of the above, SCC is seeking qualified translation services firms to provide the following, with the approval and supervision from SCC translation staff and the Vice-President and Chief Communications Officer:

• Comparative review and revision of French texts;
