Continuation of Free Public WiFi Continuation Service

The City of Calgary is seeking service providers to continue offering free public Wi-Fi at key municipal locations, including transit agency platforms, recreation centres, and other City facilities. The agency needs a sustainable, zero-cost solution that outlines proposed service and partnership models, operational requirements, and approaches supporting the municipal digital equity strategy. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of maintaining reliable, long-term public Wi-Fi service delivery while meeting resident expectations without incurring municipal costs. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in Canada. The scope of work requires offsite performance to manage and deliver the continuation of the public Wi-Fi service. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the financial and partnership model. The agency requires all questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 23, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on the viability of the proposed zero-cost solution, the strength of the partnership model, and alignment with the digital equity strategy.
