Independent Labour Market Researcher Services

The Alberta government authority is seeking an independent labour market researcher to support a two-year project focused on trade-impacted small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected researcher will design and conduct a structured regional research process to assess how trade and tariff-related volatility affects workforce stability, operational decision-making, workforce planning capacity, key-person dependency, and internal labour flexibility among these enterprises in northwest Alberta. The scope of work covers the research, diagnostic, analysis, validation, and reporting components of the project. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations located in Canada. The chosen vendor must perform all work offsite at their own office premises. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this initiative. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than May 31, 2026.
