On July 20, 2023, Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) launched a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Métis Mobile Community Initiative. MNBC’s Ministry of Education is seeking an organization to assist in retrofitting three Mercedes Sprinters 4x4 2500 Cargo 170 vans. The vans will be used to deliver mobile community programming throughout British Columbia.
MNBC has participated in a discovery process to determine what is needed to optimize service delivery. It was determined that the primary function of the vans will be carrying programming and cultural materials, to allow staff to set up programs and services in community spaces and/or outdoors. The secondary function of the van is for staff to serve as temporary office space or meet with families, on an as-needed basis.
Inquiries can be submitted in written form up to five (5) days before the closing date and addressed to Carol Kerfoot, ckerfoot@mnbc.ca
