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. The selected vendor will gather qualitative and quantitative input to inform the agency vision, guiding principles, policy directions, and implementation framework. The scope of work covers providing strategic direction and oversight for the engagement process. 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, industry, environmental groups, developers, adjacent municipalities, and Indigenous groups. The agency also requires regular progress updates to Council and the community, alongside clear documentation and communication of the themes and comments received. Eligibility is restricted to Canadian organizations. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must pay and register on the tendering authority's website in order to obtain the official request for proposals document without a watermark. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. Bidders can submit their responses digitally via email or online. The agency requires all questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 15, 2026.
