Economic Development Capacity Review Service

The agency is seeking structured, actionable strategies that move beyond high-level theory to provide clear guidance, tools, and implementation steps realistic for a small- to mid-sized municipal organization. The project covers assessing past and current internal and external economic development practices, tools, and capacity. The selected vendor must engage staff and the community to identify strengths, gaps, and priorities. The scope of work requires developing clear, practical strategies that improve the coordination of economic development activities. The agency also requires an implementation roadmap that includes measurable outcomes, early wins, and phased actions. Performance of the work will occur offsite. Only Canadian organizations are eligible to bid on this opportunity. Bidders must submit all questions no later than July 24, 2026. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and allows digital response submissions via email or online.
