General Description of Requirement

The City of Vancouver (the “City”) is seeking expressions of interest (“Expressions of Interest”) from child care operators for the operation of upcoming childcare centres at one or more of two sites, as follows:

One childcare centre will be co-located with a seismically upgraded secondary school at the following locations:
-Eric Hamber Secondary School

One childcare centre will be located with a new development at the following location:
-Oakridge Civic Centre

Background:

While the mandate for provision of child care and other social and health services are the responsibility of senior governments, the City of Vancouver recognizes the many social, economic and health benefits that child care provides to its residents.

Child development services are set in the context of various City policies including the Civic Child Care Strategy (1990), the Child Care Design Guidelines (1993), Moving Forward Report (2002), Child Care: A Commitment from Local Government Protocol (2004), and Healthy City Strategy – A Good Start (2014). In December 2018, Vancouver City Council set a renewed target to facilitate the creation of 1000 new spaces between 2019 and 2022.

Childcare centres delivered as public amenities in the City of Vancouver are located in a variety of types of developments including City-owned land and buildings, and co-located with mixed-use developments and schools.
