Economic Development Strategic Action Plan Service

The City of Prince George is seeking a qualified vendor to develop a new ten-year economic development strategic action plan. This plan will guide the municipality in decision-making, planning, and executing key initiatives by identifying clear implementation priorities. The final deliverable must include a comprehensive roadmap featuring specific goals, objectives, and actions for success. The selected vendor must analyze demographic, economic, labor force, and industry trends to inform the strategy. The scope of work requires sector opportunity assessments and business attraction strategies for priority sectors, specifically mining, agriculture, forestry manufacturing, and value-added processing. Additionally, the vendor must prepare a dedicated communications plan for the project. Stakeholder engagement represents a key component of this initiative. The vendor must engage city council, municipal staff, key agencies, and the public through meetings, open houses, and surveys. The vendor will determine and execute the most effective delivery methods for these interactions, whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in Canada. The agency expects the performance of the work to take place offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, though the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is openly looking for proposals. The agency requires all clarification questions to be submitted no later than July 8, 2026. No other key dates or specific evaluation criteria are provided in the procurement details.
