The City of Vancouver issued a Notice of Intent to Contract (NOITC) to procure Basic First Aid Certified Security Guard services for its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at the East Pender facility. The work requires certified guards to cover day, evening, extended, and overnight shifts according to the EOC’s operational schedule. Because the City faces a compressed timeline to meet provincial first‑aid requirements, it will directly award the contract to Commissionaires under an existing emergency communications agreement. The contract is a short‑term, lump‑sum engagement valued at approximately CAD 24,992.48, running from 7 June 2026 to 22 July 2026.
• Service scope: Provide Basic First Aid certified security personnel for 24‑hour coverage at the Vancouver EOC.
• Procurement method: Sole‑source direct award due to urgency and existing agreement.
• Financials: Lump‑sum contract ~ CAD 25 k (≈ USD 18.7 k).
• Timeline: Notice opened 22 May 2026, Q&A closed 5 June 2026, performance period 7 June‑22 July 2026.
