This RFP/ is open to all interested vendors.

The City of Calgary is inviting proponents to submit a proposal to conduct quantitative and qualitative research as part of the Quality of Life and Citizen Satisfaction Research Program.

Each year of the Research Program includes two representative, statistically valid surveys of n=2,500 Calgarians for each survey wave and up to 20 general population focus groups.

This project anticipates the following waves each year:
Wave 1 – Spring Survey;
Wave 2 – Spring Focus Groups;
Wave 3 – Fall Survey;
Wave 4 – Fall Focus Groups.

It is the intention of The City to contract with one proponent for the entire research program. The research program will run for one (1) year, four (4) waves, with the option to renew for another four (4) years. Work from year to year is dependent on budget availability and approval as well as vendor performance.

This procurement process is not intended to create, and, will not create, a formal,
legally binding bidding process. It will instead be governed by the law applicable to direct
commercial negotiations.
