Municipal Development Plan Engagement Services

The agency is seeking municipal development plan engagement services to increase public awareness and understanding of its role, purpose, and statutory constraints. The project aims to provide inclusive, accessible, and meaningful opportunities for input from residents, landowners, interested parties, Indigenous communities, external agencies, and regional partners. Through this initiative, the agency intends to gather qualitative and quantitative input to inform its vision, guiding principles, policy directions, and implementation framework. The scope of work requires the selected provider to deliver strategic direction and oversight while clearly documenting and communicating the themes and comments received from the public. Requested engagement activities include public open houses and workshops, online engagement tools such as a project webpage, surveys, and an interactive mapping platform, and meetings with interested parties representing agriculture, business, environmental groups, developers, adjacent municipalities, and Indigenous groups. The agency also requires regular progress updates to Council and the community. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in Canada. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. Bidders must pay and register on the tendering authority's website to obtain the official request for proposals document without a watermark. The agency requires all questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 15, 2026.
