Development and Implementation of a Surplus and Vacant Land Framework

The City of Cambridge, acting on behalf of the Government of Canada, is seeking proposals for the development and implementation of a Surplus and Vacant Land Framework aimed at improving the management, utilization, and strategic planning of underused or idle land assets. This initiative is designed to create a structured approach for identifying, assessing, and repurposing surplus properties to better serve community needs, support economic development, and align with broader municipal and federal objectives. The solicitation, identified as P26-70 [BF-107764], was posted on July 10, 2026, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026, and is open to qualified proponents with expertise in land use planning, asset management, and public policy implementation. The contract opportunity is classified as federal and does not specify a set-aside category or NAICS code. All proposals must be submitted through the designated procurement portal, and inquiries should be directed to the primary point of contact, Mawdsleyd@cambridge.ca, or via the provided phone number. The work will be performed in Cambridge, Ontario, though the exact physical location of performance is not specified beyond the municipal boundary. The framework to be developed will need to include methodologies for data collection, stakeholder engagement, risk assessment, and long-term monitoring to ensure transparency and accountability in the disposition or reuse of vacant and surplus lands. Successful bidders will be expected to deliver a comprehensive, actionable framework that meets municipal governance standards and supports sustainable urban planning outcomes.
