City of St. Albert - Negotiated Request for Proposal - Space Planning Consultant Services

The City of St. Albert is seeking qualified multi-disciplinary consulting firms to provide space planning consultant services under solicitation number AB-2026-04074, with proposals due by June 18, 2026. The engagement is corporate in scope and aims to develop a comprehensive space planning framework and organizational workspace standards to guide future decisions across the entire municipal portfolio. The selected consultant will conduct a current state assessment of the City’s space utilization, analyze alignment between workforce needs and physical space, and perform jurisdictional benchmarking to inform the creation of role-appropriate standards and decision-making tools. The focus is on strategic planning—establishing guiding principles, equitable frameworks, and defensible metrics—not on designing or constructing specific facilities. The deliverables are intended to support consistent, organization-wide space management practices rather than addressing individual buildings or site-specific projects. The consultant must have proven expertise in corporate space planning, workplace standards development, and public-sector environments, with the ability to deliver insights that enhance efficiency and equity in municipal space allocation. The output will inform future implementation strategies, ensuring that space decisions are data-driven, standardized, and aligned with evolving workforce requirements. The contract will be awarded through a negotiated process, and all proposals must be submitted by the stated deadline. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Anastasia Betskova, Contracting Authority, and the opportunity is posted on Canada Buys, with performance taking place in Alberta.
