City of Prince George (the “City) is seeking proposals from qualified Suppliers who can demonstrate the appropriate experience, knowledge and availability needed to create a new five (5) year economic development strategy to drive growth in Prince George’s key economic sectors including energy, manufacturing, transportation and warehousing. This will include conducting background research, data analysis and stakeholder engagement and consultation and delivering an economic base analysis, a workforce development analysis, a 'roadmap' with a five-year action plan and accompanying report and presentation and identifying KPI’s to monitor and measure progress with an accompanying reporting template. The strategy should align with existing operational resources, federal, provincial, regional, and local government priorities, and be mainly based on existing human and capital resources and identify where additional resources are needed and the potential funding sources to offset those costs.

Should additional funding become available (e.g. through successful grant applications), the Consultant may be asked to perform additional research and engagement for key sectors, develop additional materials, deliver additional internal supports for improved productivity of staff and service delivery.
 

This solicitation may lead to sequential or concurrent negotiations with one or more Proponents offering the most advantageous proposal(s), or to the creation of a Contract without negotiations.
