Academic Programs and Support Services

The Calgary, Alberta government authority is seeking academic programs and support services to conduct a comprehensive review and strategic alignment of the college's offerings. The agency needs a thorough analysis of post-secondary trends, program supply, enrollment demand, and operational models to achieve academic success and service efficiency. This initiative aims to solve the problem of operational misalignment by creating a services alignment plan where seventy percent of expenses for non-academic activities directly support the student journey. The scope of work requires the development of a program and services optimization plan detailing which programs and services to launch, revise, consolidate, or suspend and terminate based on the review findings. The agency is issuing a two-year contract for these services, and the performance of the work can take place either onsite or offsite. Bidders must be onshore organizations located in Canada to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget limit. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this procurement no later than June 22, 2026. The evaluation criteria will focus on the bidder's ability to deliver the strategic alignment plans and comprehensive trend reviews outlined in the request.
