51猎奇入口issues request for proposals for janitorial services
51猎奇入口 is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for our next janitorial services contract, which has been outsourced to BEST Service Pros for the past 15 years.
The current contract cannot be extended and is set to expire in April 2027. Proceeding with the RFP now ensures labour continuity and union recognition in the event of a transition.
Public institutions in B.C. are required to run competitive procurement processes (like RFPs) once contracts reach certain dollar thresholds or time limits to ensure fairness, transparency, and value for public funds. These rules help give all qualified suppliers a fair opportunity to compete and demonstrate accountability to taxpayers.
Regularly re-competing contracts also ensures the institution continues to receive best value, up-to-date services, and innovative solutions, while meeting provincial trade agreement and procurement policy requirements.
A competitive RFP process ensures a janitorial services partner that can deliver consistently high cleaning standards across our campuses, while supporting our commitment to sustainability, equity and worker safety.
The university values all our contracted workers and is committed to ensuring all are treated fairly. Under the terms of the RFP, current contracted janitorial workers will be able to continue in their role, should they desire to do so. They will continue to be represented by CUPE 3338 and will receive compensation package aligned with the living wage.
