Effectiveness Audit Service

The Managed Forest Council invites qualified consultants to submit proposals for an effectiveness audit of British Columbia's Managed Forest program. The buyer requires a consultant to evaluate whether forest practices requirements under Divisions 3 and 4 of the Private Managed Forest Land Council Regulation effectively achieve the Private Managed Forest Land Act's Division 1 objectives for water quality, fish habitat, and reforestation. The scope involves analyzing current scientific data, reviewing inspection data, conducting interviews, comparing standards with other jurisdictions, and producing a final audit report with improvement opportunities. Only Canadian onshore organizations are eligible to bid, and performance of the work will be offsite with minimized fieldwork. Proponents must submit proposals in PDF format digitally via email to [email protected] by November 1, 2026. The contract term runs from December 2026 through completion in February 2028. The total budget over a maximum two-year period should not exceed $60,000, and proposals exceeding this amount must explain why additional funds are required. The Council evaluates proposals based on methodology and approach (30%), key personnel and team qualifications (20%), relevant experience (20%), budget (15%), timeline (10%), and company profile (5%).
