RFP 26.056 - Battery Electric Bus Digital Ecosystem Contractor Services

BC Transit is soliciting contractor services to design, implement, support, and stabilize the digital ecosystem required for its transition to battery electric buses and associated charging infrastructure. This initiative involves integrating new data sources and digital systems with existing enterprise platforms including JDE, Hastus, Trapeze, the Bus Availability System, and the enterprise data environment, ensuring seamless, reliable, and secure operations. The contractor must deliver a practical, scalable, and sustainable solution that adheres strictly to BC Transit’s enterprise architecture standards, governance protocols, and information security requirements, with a focus on long-term operability and system stability in support of electrified transit services. The solicitation, identified as RFP 26.056 with a reference number of BC228776, was posted on April 30, 2026, and responses are due by June 2, 2026. The work is under the authority of BC Transit, with the primary point of contact being JBornholdt@BCTransit.com. Although the solicitation is listed under the Government of Canada as the agency, the performance and operational focus remain entirely within BC Transit’s transit systems. Contractors are expected to demonstrate capability in managing complex data integrations, aligning with existing enterprise systems, and delivering solutions that meet the technical, security, and operational demands of a modernizing public transit network.
