Council asked to approve $31,000 contract extension for electronic medical records system through 2029
City Council is being asked to authorize an amendment to extend and expand the contract with Intrahealth Canada for hosting, maintenance and support of the city's Electronic Medical Records system. The amendment adds approximately $31,000 to the existing purchase order, bringing the total contract value to $669,515 and extending the term to January 31, 2029. The increase exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's spending authority and requires council approval under the city's procurement bylaws.

This amendment sustains production and support for a tool already in use, with no change to the underlying service or strategic direction.Invisible to residentsElectronic Medical Records are an internal city-management tool, not a service residents experience directly. The system supports city staff and health-program administration. No resident's commute, rent, street, bill, safety, or access changes as a result of this contract amendment.
