Accessible Travel Data Collection Services

The government authority located in Ontario is seeking a vendor to provide accessible travel data collection services. The agency needs to gather insights on accessible tourism to better understand the needs of travelers with accessibility requirements. This project aims to solve the challenge of collecting representative and highly accessible data from diverse and underrepresented communities. The scope of work covers conducting a review of existing accessible tourism research and proposing a detailed research methodology and survey approach. The selected vendor must identify target audiences, establish sampling strategies, and recommend accessible survey designs that align with relevant accessibility standards and guidelines. Additionally, the agency requires the development of outreach strategies to engage accessibility-focused communities and the execution of a data collection plan targeting three hundred and fifty to seven hundred respondents. The final phase of the project requires the vendor to analyze the survey findings and deliver a comprehensive written report summarizing the methodology, insights, and recommendations. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must be located onshore within Canada to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency is requesting proposals to determine the budget and will accept bid submissions digitally via email or through their online portal. No specific evaluation criteria or key dates are provided in the procurement details.
