Economic Development Strategic Plan Service

The issuing agency is seeking a qualified Canadian organization to develop a Five-Year Economic Development Strategic Plan for the years 2027 through 2032. This plan must reflect agency values, community priorities, and opportunities for sustainable long-term economic growth. The final document will provide strategic direction for the Economic Development Unit and support future initiatives related to business development, employment, investment, partnerships, tourism, food security, and community prosperity. The scope of work requires identifying economic development priorities, supporting entrepreneurship, strengthening workforce development, and identifying investment opportunities. The selected partner must advance community priorities such as tourism and food security while promoting the sustainable use of community assets and resources. Additionally, the project requires reviewing the previous 2017-2022 Economic Development Strategic Plan to assess accomplishments, gaps, lessons learned, and emerging priorities. The agency requires the final strategic plan to include a vision, mission, guiding principles, strategic priorities, and recommended actions. It must also feature an implementation roadmap, defined roles and responsibilities, and performance measures with key indicators. All work will be performed offsite, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget. Eligibility is restricted to onshore Canadian organizations. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The source document does not specify key dates or detailed evaluation criteria for this opportunity.
