Calgary Catholic School
District Signs New Contracts with Four Transportation Providers after Request
for Proposal (RFP) Process
.
When the value of a possible
contract for services or materials exceeds a certain threshold dollar amount,
the Calgary Catholic School District is required to conduct a formal RFP
process that is open to all bidders who wish to submit a proposal for the possible
contract.
On January 31, 2019, Calgary
Catholic posted two publically-accessible RFPs—one for regular transportation
services and one for diverse learner transportation services. A Calgary
Catholic RFP evaluation committee evaluated, scored, and ranked all the
submitted proposals based on the specific criteria that were outlined in the
RFP instructions to all bidders. In April 2019, Calgary Catholic invited
the four top-ranked bidders to enter into direct contract negotiations.
Recently, the contract
negotiations concluded, and the parties finalized the contracts. Calgary
Catholic can now announce that beginning September 2019, the following service
providers will provide transportation services:
Regular Program K-6
