General Description of Requirement
This Request for Application (the “RFA”) provides an opportunity to submit applications for review by the City and, depending on the City’s evaluation of such application, among other factors, to potentially negotiate with the City to enter into a standing contract under which catering services may be provided to the City’s Civic Theatres during a period of three years.
As noted above, this RFA concerns the City’s interest in, from time to time, procuring catering services for Civic Theatres: Queen Elizabeth Theatre; Vancouver Playhouse; Orpheum; and Orpheum Annex. As specific requirements are not known at this time, the City wishes to enter into standing contracts, in the form of Part D (each an “Agreement”), with a number of suppliers that have the interest and capabilities to provide such services. This would allow the City to call for required services, as and when the need arises. Further information regarding the services that are expected to be required is set out in Part B of the RFA.
