Islands Trust Accessibility Plan Development

The Province of British Columbia, through the Management Services Division and Islands Trust, is soliciting proposals for the development of an accessibility plan under the Accessible British Columbia Act. The project involves conducting a desktop review of operations, procedures, public-facing documents, and meeting access to identify and mitigate accessibility gaps. Key deliverables include a draft accessibility plan due by February 26, 2027, a final version incorporating public feedback due by March 12, 2027, a plain language version of the plan, and a detailed implementation section. All work must adhere to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, specifically Call to Action 47, and the Islands Trust Reconciliation Declaration. The estimated contract value ranges from 10,000 to 19,000 CAD, with a potential six-month extension at the discretion of the Islands Trust. Proposals must be submitted in English via BC Bid or email by October 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Evaluation is based on a weighted system consisting of capabilities (60 percent), approach (30 percent), and price (10 percent), with minimum scores required for the first two criteria. Awardees must provide resumes for key personnel, maintain required insurance, and follow specific invoicing protocols via email to Accounts Payable without copying individual employees.
