The City of Winnipeg now has issued a total of six heavy construction tenders that include social procurement clauses, to pilot requirements for hiring of equity group individuals.
The pilots will inform how social procurement requirements become a permanent feature of tendering.
The tenders can be found here.
MHCA is asking any contractor bidding on the pilot projects to contact the association with comments or suggestions regarding the tender bidding and award process. It is especially important to hear the views of the contract award winner.
The MHCA is working with the City to refine the social procurement requirements and process.
Should you have suggestions or concerns, please contact MHCA Manager of Policy and Communications, Catherine Mitchell at catherine@mhca.mb.ca or MHCA President & CEO Chris Lorenc at clorenc@mhca.mb.ca
