Details

The City of Yellowknife (the City) is seeking proposals from qualified companies or individuals to prepare a Market Study (the Study) to inform preparation of the Frame Lake Area Development Plan (the Plan). The purpose of the Study is to assess the potential market demand and economic, social and environmental impacts of developing the Plan Area at varying scales of residential, commercial, and mixed-use development. Due to the limited availability of developable land within municipal boundaries, the City is acquiring additional lands from the territorial government to accommodate future growth. The City has formalized an agreement with the Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT) to transfer ownership of the lands within the Plan Area from Commissioner’s Land to City-owned land. A new Area Development Plan (ADP) is being created to facilitate the future development of these lands into a new residential-commercial mixed-use neighbourhood.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this research, studies & evaluation opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
