IT Professional Services Roster

Access a range of leading, pre-qualified IT professional services experts to meet institutional needs.

We are pleased to announce the availability of a second-generation services roster through a request for supplier qualifications (RFSQ) process for public post-secondary institutions in B.C. The roster offers access to pre-qualified, IT expertise and related services for four service categories across 20 pre-qualified vendors:

Information and Cybersecurity – 8 vendors
Network – 10 vendors
Development and Operations – 10 vendors
Infrastructure – 10 vendors

The IT RFSQ Working Group has been collaborating on a set of strategies and requirements for IT professional services since May of 2020, building upon learnings from the first-generation roster. A tender was posted on BC Bid, which closed in June 2020. After an extensive evaluation process, BCNET has entered into three-year supply arrangements with twenty vendors.

Refining Service Categories: Aligning with Members’ Needs

All service categories were refined to focus on members’ needs and offer the following enhancements:

Expanded cybersecurity services to pre-qualified vendors that specialize in consulting and services, such as:
- Cloud security consulting
- Incident response services
- Security control consulting
- Security Threat & Risk Assessment services
Included cloud adoption services to the infrastructure service category
Included IT change management professionals as a resource to all service categories

Members can access the roster to acquire services in alignment with their institutional policies and processes by sole sourcing, or by entering into a second stage procurement process based on their institutional procurement policies.
