Notice is hereby given by the Metro Vancouver Regional District (“the Corporation”) of its intent to contract for one (1) year, with a potential option to extend for two (2) additional one (1) year terms, with MRI Software LLC for Property Management X maintenance fee. This contract will have a total value $56,557.04 USD (exclusive of taxes) for the first year.

The services are expected to include: 

• Annual Property Management and Maintenance Fee

• Annual Support

The Corporation did not call for competitive bids for the following reasons:

• The Corporation has been using the software for over 15 years. The system is fully integrated with many other internal systems and applications. 

• The MRI System is complex and lots of care needs to be taken selecting and implementing a new system. 

• The system has a lot of integration touch points and pulls data from many internal and external sources. 

• Staff are trained to use the system and are active users. If a new system were to be procured, this would require significant knowledge transfer.

Service providers wishing to object to this decision should submit their response through the Bidding System (https://metrovancouver.bidsandtenders.ca) no later than 2:00:00 p.m. local time on the 11^th day of September, 2025, presenting specific reasons for their objection. If warranted, a meeting with the parties may be called to receive presentations regarding this contract. 

Contractors with the required expertise, experience, resources and the proven ability to offer the same or better solution at a lower cost, will be key criteria with regard to the consideration of contractor objections. Metro Vancouver’s decision in this regard will be final.
