Project Description

RAM was entrusted with a critical three-year, multi-phased role in developing, supporting, and managing WorkSafe BC’s Contractor Prequalification process from 2024 – 2027.   This addressed the pre-qualifications of all hired contractors and service providers.

Our Role

Our responsibilities, which included creating the foundational system and ensuring its seamless implementation and ongoing management, proceeded in the following phases:

Phase 1: Evaluation of Prequalification Process

RAM, together with WorkSafe BC, developed a streamlined process that ensured all hired contractors meet strict Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards. Key elements of this process included:

• Developing process flow charts to highlight prequalification responsibilities, and corresponding forms to obtain and assess prequalification submissions.
• Creating a comprehensive prequalification package that clearly outlined OHS expectations.
• Piloting the new prequalification process to ensure a smooth transition for WorkSafe BC and its hired contractors.

Phase 2: Ongoing Prequalification Support

In the ongoing management phase, RAM played a vital role in maintaining the integrity of WorkSafe BC’s Contractor Prequalification process by:

• Distributing prequalification packages to contractors and service providers.
• Collecting contractor prequalification submissions.
• Rigorously assessing contractor submissions to ensure they aligned with the high standards developed collaboratively by RAM and WorkSafe BC.
