Competitive procurement

In addition to any internal policies and guidelines, Interior Health also adheres to the applicable sections of both the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) and the New West Partnership Trade Agreement as they pertain to fair, open and transparent procurement practices. The goal is for Interior Health to receive the best value on its projects in order to meet our service needs to address as many projects as possible with the limited project funding available.

Review the Capital Planning and Projects Procurement and Fair Business Practices (August 2016) which is used to guide our procurement processes.

How opportunities are made available

Opportunities for consultants, contractors, vendors and others that may be involved in site or facility planning, design and construction are posted on BC Bid or Bids and Tenders if the opportunity is above $75,000 for consultants and above $200,000 for construction. A pre-qualification list has been developed by Interior Health and the opportunities above these thresholds are then open only to those that have been pre-qualified*. All opportunities below these thresholds use the following guidelines:

Up to $25,000 – Award can be directed to a suitable contractor/consultant
Up to $75,000 – At least three quotes are requested to determine award
Over $75,000 – RFP/tender issued to determine award

*Note – In cases where a pre-qualification list has been established for the services intended to be procured, notification of the opportunities would only be provided to pre-qualified general contractors at the time the opportunity is released. There is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) posted on BC Bid to respond to in order to be considered for inclusion on the current pre-qualification list for general contractors.

Pre-qualified general contractors

Interior Health issued a new Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) program for General Contractors in November 2022. Evaluation of the initial intake of Responses is currently underway. Following the initial intake of Responses, the RFPQ will be re-issued on BC Bid with the RFPQ documents provided through Bids and Tenders:

Prior to the publication of the new Pre-qualification list, all new projects will be publicly advertised to the free market on BC Bid.

Construction types

We’re responsible for the planning, design and construction for our facilities and sites within the region. The work required to take on this responsibility is split into the following categories.

Minor renovations

Most minor renovations are addressed on an as-needed basis and are procured locally where the work is required. If the minor renovation is part of a larger project, such as the replacement of a piece of equipment, it is usually provided for in a capital project and follows all of the guidelines and thresholds required for the value of work anticipated.

It is appropriate for consultants and contractors to schedule a meeting with local Plant Services representatives located at various Interior Health hospitals in order to ensure Plant Services is aware of the availability of their firm for hire. When smaller jobs are required, Interior Health may solicit three quotes – as per the policy – which will allow them to consider the services of contractors and consultants.

Capital projects

Interior Health has a prioritization process it incorporates within its annual planning cycle to determine which projects will be undertaken in an upcoming fiscal year. Capital projects generally exceed $100,000 and may or may not be multi-year, depending on the complexity and scope of work. Capital projects may include medical equipment or other equipment required to ensure our sites and facilities provide the services required, therefore the total capital project value may be based on consultants, construction, equipment and other costs required to complete the project.

Planning

Interior Health has a department that specifically considers the planning of future projects and may include all or one of the following: a Master Plan, a Functional Program or a Building or Feasibility Study. Other projects may begin at the Schematic Design stage, progress to Business Case submission and move through to the completion of construction. Interior Health’s Planning department works in collaboration with every department across Interior Health and with external stakeholders during planning processes. This ensures the effort put into planning results in well-thought-out decisions on how to proceed with site development or with future construction projects.

All contractors are required to read and adhere to the Owners General Requirements and to comply with the required reporting and permitting for all work they are responsible for at Interior Health sites.
