Entertainment and Production Services

The buyer requires entertainment and production services for the annual Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival and the summer community concert series. Canal Days spans four days over civic holiday weekend, featuring a free live concert series, a street festival, family-friendly activities, food, and attractions. Bidders perform work offsite. The buyer evaluates submissions through a four-stage process involving mandatory submission requirements, evaluation, pricing, and ranking with contract negotiations. Only registered onshore Canadian organizations can download the unwatermarked request for proposals from the issuing authority website. The buyer seeks proposals for the budget rather than stating a set amount. Interested parties must submit all questions by September 1, 2026. The buyer issued the opportunity on August 20, 2026, and sets the final submission deadline for September 15, 2026, at 2:00:00 PM local time.
