Effective July 2, 2013, all BC Housing non-profit proposal calls for new and existing housing will be made available through the MERX Canadian Public Tender system. Non-profit housing and shelter providers will be able to view new proposal calls, receive email notifications and submit proposals online. Proposal calls that have been posted prior to July 2 will remain on our website until their closing date.

BC Housing staff will help housing and shelter providers register with MERX. Once registered, housing providers will have access to the full range of MERX’s services as a partnership benefit provided by BC Housing at no cost. Please contact purchasing@bchousing.org to register with MERX.

Check out the MERX Frequently Asked Questions document for more information.
