Research and Advisory Services

The Bank of Canada, a government authority located in Ontario, is seeking first-rate, objective, clear, and detailed fact-supported industry-based research and advisory services. The agency is trying to solve the challenge of making the best possible and informed decisions across Information Technology Services, Data and Digital Services, Human Resources, and Financial Services. To support effective contract negotiations, the agency requires access to relevant pricing intelligence that does not depend on the agency disclosing its own pricing information. The scope of work covers the delivery of research and advisory services across the specified departments, along with any additional subject areas identified during the agreement. The agency requests analytical tools, techniques, expert professional services, and virtual consultations with subject matter experts who specialize in relevant topics. The requested services also include access to senior and executive-level advisors for strategic guidance, access to conferences, access to an online peer networking platform, and additional related tools as required. Furthermore, the agency requires access to a key partner to address consultations, schedule expert calls, assist with conference coordination, and provide usage reports and updates. Only organizations based onshore in Canada are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The agency has set the deadline for all questions to be submitted no later than July 16, 2026.
