RFP - 2026-0123 - Development of Municipal and Economic Development Website

The Rural Municipality of Lac du Bonnet is seeking proposals from qualified digital agencies or consultants to design, develop, and implement two new, complementary websites: a Municipal Website and an Economic Development & Investment Attraction Website, which together will serve as the RM’s primary digital platforms for residents, visitors, investors, and businesses by providing accessible, accurate, and up-to-date information through a modern, secure, mobile-responsive, and easy-to-maintain content management system. The Municipal Website will function as the RM’s main public service hub, offering clear navigation to municipal programs and services, public notices and emergency updates, council and governance information, forms and contacts, and community information that supports transparency and resident engagement, while the Economic Development & Investment Attraction Website will focus on positioning Lac du Bonnet as an investment-ready destination by showcasing opportunities, key sectors, high-level land and development potential, workforce and infrastructure information, and clear pathways for investor inquiries and lead capture. Both sites must be scalable and cost-effective for a rural Manitoba municipality, meet accessibility standards, support future enhancements, and allow for optional AI-enabled tools that improve user experience and staff efficiency while ensuring appropriate oversight and content control.
