Community Data Program Membership Renewal

The City of Vancouver intends to renew its membership in the Canada‑wide Community Data Program for a five‑year term, contracting with The Social Planning and Research Council of BC (SPARC BC) to maintain access to core social‑planning datasets. This is a low‑value, professional‑services‑type procurement focused on data‑access and analytical support for municipal planning initiatives. • Contract value approximately CAD $25,750 (≈ USD $19k). • Term of about five years, with the City retaining the right to extend. • No product‑line items; the work is delivered as a lump‑sum professional service fee. • Procurement is open (no mandatory pre‑bid meeting), and questions may be submitted via the Q&A board prior to the July 30 deadline.
