Description
BC Transit is providing notice to interested and qualified vendors that they plan to issue, within thirty days, a Negotiated Request for Proposal (NRFP) for an On-Demand Transit Application. The awarded vendor will deliver an on-demand solution, by way of proof of concept, to the Crawford region of Kelowna by 2024, with the possibility of expansion to other regions within British Columbia.
BC Transit sees opportunity in providing an alternative to its conventional fixed route service by developing an on-demand option that can benefit customers by improving the transit experience in eligible locations. The intent of this NRFP is to secure a vendor under contract that can provide a proof of concept, demonstrating their ability to deliver an on-demand solution that includes development, hardware, software, and ongoing maintenance and support. Upon completion of the proof of concept, BC Transit reserves the right to expand services to additional regions under NRFP 23.046.
This Notice to Vendors is not a formal notice of a competitive process. BC Transit has issued this notice so that interested parties are aware that BC Transit anticipates posting a NRFP in relation to an on-demand transit application, and should therefore monitor BC Bid (www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca). Questions related to this notice should be sent via email to itprocurement@BCTransit.com. Further details will be in the upcoming NRFP.
