BCHR issues Indigenous Engagement Consultant RFP to support HPOA project – CLOSED
The submission deadline for this RFP has passed.
In 2022, the BC government introduced and passed new legislation: The Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA). The new legislation includes guiding principles (section 14) that will underpin the regulatory work performed by health profession regulatory colleges in BC. This section of the HPOA speaks directly to anti-discrimination requirements, which also includes Indigenous-specific anti-racism in health regulation and services.
BCHR has established a project to support a consistent transition from current legislation to the new HPOA for all Colleges. In support of this, BCHR requires consultants to assist in hardwiring of Indigenous Specific Anti-racism, Cultural Safety and, Cultural Humility into its project deliverables, and has issued a Request for Proposal for Indigenous Engagement Consultant.
The deadline for submission of proposals is July 16, 2024, with a final decision by the HPOA Steering Committee expected by August 2, 2024.
