City of Camrose - Request for Proposal - Virtualization Platform Modernization and Lifecycle Renewal

The City of Camrose is soliciting proposals to modernize and renew its existing on-premises virtualization platform, aiming to establish a robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure that supports current operational demands and future growth. The solution must provide enterprise-grade availability, centralized management capabilities, and transparent lifecycle planning, with a strict preference for open, non-proprietary licensing models that ensure long-term sustainability and avoid vendor lock-in. The RFP emphasizes stability, supportability, and the ability to adapt to evolving technological needs without reliance on opaque or restrictive vendor terms. Proposals are due by June 17, 2026, under solicitation number AB-2026-03975, which was posted on May 22, 2026. The contract is administered by the City of Camrose, with Charles Adolfo listed as the primary point of contact for contracting matters. While the solicitation is listed under the Government of Canada’s procurement portal, the performance location is in Alberta, and the city seeks vendors capable of delivering a complete virtualization platform solution that meets rigorous operational standards while aligning with public sector procurement principles and long-term digital transformation goals.
