Higher Buildings Policy Review (HBPR) Idea Competition

The City of Vancouver intends to award a direct‑award contract to Buildner to host and manage an architectural ideas competition that supports the Higher Buildings Policy Review (HBPR). Buildner will create the competition brief, operate an online submission platform, coordinate jurors, promote the event, showcase winning entries, and handle distribution of a CAD $15,000 prize pool. The City will fund only the prize money; Buildner retains any registration fees from participants. This is a single‑award, lump‑sum contract with a modest budget and a short implementation window aligned with the competition timeline. • Scope includes competition design, online hosting, juror coordination, marketing, winner profiling, and prize disbursement. • Contract value is approximately CAD $15,000 (prize money), with no service fee charged to the City. • Deadline for bid submission is 13 May 2026 3:00 PM PDT; questions must be posted to the Q&A board before that date. • Primary contact: Linda Ma (procurement contact, City of Vancouver).
