This RFP is an invitation by the Faculty, Residential & Student Family Housing on behalf of The Governing Council of the University of Toronto (the “University”) to prospective Proponents to submit Proposals for the provision of Consulting Services for University Housing Planning, St. George Campus.
The Successful Proponent will undertake a comprehensive strategic review of the University's housing program which refers to St. George campus operations that provide rental housing for members of the university community who are not single students.
