The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is asking for qualified and experienced bidders to submit proposals for consultancy services to conduct a review of special events in town.
The initiative, which opened for bidding on April 14, aims to help the town modernize how special events are managed to improve efficiency for both event organizers and town staff, according to the profile for bid number CAO-2025-004 on the town’s bid opportunities website, notl.bidsandtenders.ca/module/tenders/en.
The chosen bidder will review the types, frequency and effects of events held on both public and private lands. They will also create a document outlining what counts as a special event, which will help the town make future decisions and develop future policies.
“This project presents an exciting opportunity to support the town,” states the website.
The bidder will assess the current application and approval process to find any inefficiencies and will use Lean Six Sigma methods to suggest improvements to streamline operations and develop a fee structure for cost recovery.
The work will include comparing NOTL’s approaches with other municipalities, talking to key stakeholders, and creating a final report with “actionable recommendations.”
The bid’s closing date is May 5 at 4 p.m.
To take part in the bid, an annual fee of $439.90 or a per-bid fee of $132.04 must be paid. A preview of bid documents, bid opportunities and award notices are available on the town’s bid opportunities website for free.
