Strategic Planning and Ongoing Governance Support Services

The Town of Mono is seeking a qualified Canadian organization to provide strategic planning and ongoing governance support services. The agency needs to establish a one-time strategic plan while supporting sustained good governance and alignment throughout the council term. This initiative aims to solve the need for structured mid-term strategic check-ins, ongoing advisory or coaching support for council and senior administration, and robust governance tools that reinforce best practices. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to review the town's existing strategic plan and relevant background materials. The provider must design and deliver an inclusive engagement process involving council, staff, residents, and key stakeholders, and subsequently prepare a summary of these engagement findings. Additionally, the work includes conducting council governance orientation or refresher sessions, facilitating workshops, and developing progress review tools or frameworks. The agency requires the delivery of a draft strategic plan for review, followed by a finalized strategic plan presented to council. The project also encompasses optional implementation and monitoring supports, alongside governance orientation materials and session outcomes. All performance of the work will occur offsite. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located in Canada. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not signaled a specific funding limit. The solicitation documents do not specify the exact evaluation criteria or key dates, which bidders must identify in the formal application package.
