Summary
The purpose of this report is to request authority to enter a new non-competitive contract with Computacenter TeraMach Technologies Inc., for the supply of change management consulting services for Housing Secretariat from the date of award to December 31, 2026, for a total amount of $442,478 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($450,266 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).
The services sought under this non-competitive contract are for a new and distinct phase of the Modernization Project within Housing Secretariat, as well as operationalization of an existing phase. There will be continued focus on ensuring digital equity for housing applicants who lack access to technology or require non-digital options to maintain their housing applications and receive housing offers. The new Project phase is the result of City Council direction to implement a Centralized Affordable Rental Housing Access System. This new phase introduces significant program, policy, and operational changes that require continued change management expertise, familiarity with the project history, and the ability to meet tight project timelines.
