Foreign Direct Investment Services

The government authority located in Alberta is seeking consulting services to develop a comprehensive Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Strategy. The agency needs a practical, data-informed strategy that aligns with its broader Investment Attraction Action Plan and strengthens investment attraction across the region's five priority industry sectors. This project aims to solve the challenge of identifying target markets, attracting qualified investors, supporting proactive lead generation, and managing both inbound and outbound FDI opportunities. The scope of work covers an assessment of the current investment attraction environment, sector and market analysis, and the identification of target jurisdictions and investor profiles. The selected provider must deliver recommended sector positioning, value proposition messaging, investor outreach approaches, and lead generation strategies. Additionally, the project requires the creation of processes and tools for FDI inquiry management, performance measures, and a five-year action plan that sets out a phased implementation roadmap. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in Canada. Bidders must register and pay a fee on the tendering authority's website to obtain the official request for proposals document without a watermark. The agency is requesting proposals to determine the budget, and the performance of all work will take place offsite. Bidders can submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency requires all questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 8, 2026.
