RFEI BOZ00864 Children and Women Campus Infrastructure Planning Study

The Provincial Health Services Authority, in coordination with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, has issued Request for Expression of Interest RFEI_BOZ00864 to identify qualified firms for a Children and Women Campus Infrastructure Planning Study. This engagement focuses on providing professional mechanical engineering and energy infrastructure advisory services to conduct a high-level feasibility and options assessment for the BC Children's Hospital and BC Women's Hospital + Health Centre campus. The study will evaluate technical feasibility, infrastructure requirements, energy and greenhouse gas performance, financial and lifecycle considerations, and potential implementation phasing and delivery approaches. This is not a detailed design or architectural assignment, but rather a preliminary assessment to inform future planning. Interested firms must submit a completed submission form by October 9, 2026. Applicants are required to demonstrate specific experience with district energy systems, central utility plants, and mechanical infrastructure within active healthcare environments, emphasizing system resiliency and the continuity of critical services. Submissions must also confirm the ability to provide a qualified mechanical engineering and district energy lead and a willingness to sign a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement. This RFEI is not a formal tender or request for proposals; instead, it serves as a qualification process to select one or more proponents to participate in a subsequent, detailed Request for Proposal.
