PHSA RFPQ 18905 - I.T. INFRASTRUCTURE HARDWARE VALUE ADDED RESELLERS

The Provincial Health Services Authority, acting on behalf of itself and several other British Columbia Health Authorities, has issued RFPQ PHSA 18905 to establish a Pre-Qualified Value Added Reseller (VAR) List for I.T. infrastructure hardware, integral software, and related services. The scope of work covers several key categories, including network components, servers, storage, backup and archiving, security infrastructure, and power equipment such as UPS and PDU units. To qualify for the list, suppliers must demonstrate authorization and certification as VARs for required manufacturers, provide manufacturer warranties, and possess the capability to deliver Tier 2 or higher technical support. The prequalification process is expected to result in a list used from approximately June 1, 2027, through May 31, 2030, with performance occurring at facilities across British Columbia. Once the prequalified list is established, subsequent contracts will be awarded through three methods: direct awards for specific manufacturer products valued at 50,000 dollars or less, Directed Invitation To Quote (DITQ) based on the lowest total cost, and Directed Request For Proposals (DRFP) based on overall best value. Applicants must submit their responses via the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) platform by December 14, 2026. Mandatory submission requirements include acceptance of the general terms and conditions, a conflict of interest declaration, an insurance certificate, and a WorkSafeBC clearance letter. The procurement is governed by the laws of British Columbia and Canada and is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, the NWPTA, and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
