REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) BHCAT-001

POSITION: Building Healthy Communities Assessment Tool (BHCAT) - Program Manager

DEADLINE: May 27, 2022 @ 4:00PM NDT

SUMMARY

The Building Healthy Communities Collaborative (BHCC) is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop content for a Building Healthy Communities Assessment Tool (BHCAT).

The BHCAT is an accessible online platform that will provide digital resources, education, and tools for health and community planning. It will assist users (including town council members, community volunteers, not-for-profit organizations, planners, and health professionals) to assess the built environment in their community and help in planning to make it more health enhancing. A deliberate focus on making the built environment healthier facilitates supportive and sustainable communities that increase levels of physical activity, promote healthy eating, improve mental health and well-being, and foster resilience and social cohesion. This tool will assist with incorporating healthy built environment (HBE) concepts into community planning leading to healthy, resilient, and socially connected communities with core principles that include flexibility, community participation, partnership, empowerment, and equity.

BHCAT will be available to communities in all regions of the province. It will take into consideration geographic, cultural, and economic contexts. Users will receive tailored feedback including a list of recommendations that may be included in municipal plans or community initiatives, or used to support engagement with existing planning processes. Communities can decide on priorities for action and develop improvement initiatives based on available resources. From a public health perspective, BHCAT will play a critical role in increasing HBE planning and implementation capacity within the province in a sustainable, inclusive, and equitable manner.
