    Description
    ATTENTION:  Documents pertaining to this advertisement can NOT be obtained from the contact person above.  Any inquiries or questions regarding the opportunity, please email the procurement contact found in the opportunity document.

    To eliminate the risk of bidder disqualification based on failure to re-submit in response to an Amendment, as required by the new BC Bid rules, BC Hydro has changed its practice as of November 24, 2022, such that all changes to BC Hydro (including Q&As and Addenda) are now treated as “Addenda” (and not “Amendments”) within the BC Bid rules and, as such, no longer require re-submission by the bidder of any already made submission. Please see Addenda instructions for further information.

    The above practice change means that changes (including Q&As and Addendas) to BC Hydro opportunities will no longer be posted in the RFx Documents section of this Overview tab.

    Please refer to the Addenda tab for any changes to this opportunity.

Supplier registration can take a number of days to complete. Step-by-step guides are available to help users register and create their accounts.
