Course on LMS to portal to an external course

We have a vendor pitching to do work for us but their content won't smoothly upload to our LMS. They can host the courses for us and provide reporting but I'd rather not make our learners go to multiple places. Can I create a course in Captivate that when opened will actually load the vendor's course from their website?

Version: Captivate 5.5

What you ask might be technically feasible, but it would probably not be a practical.  When it comes to SCORM content, most LMSs insist that the content resides in the LMS repository and gets served up from there.  If you opt for AICC as your interaction standard (assuming that your LMS supports it) you might be able to point the LMS at the content on a remote server and still have the LMS track it.  But there are a lot of variables and potential pitfalls with this.

Thanks for your answer. I was concerned this wouldn't be a simple fix and you confirmed that.
