Evaluation Framework & Methodology Design

The contract calls for the design of an evaluation framework aligned with the Government of Canada’s Policy on Results, specifically focused on assessing the socio-economic impact of initiatives in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. The deliverables include the development of performance indicators, data collection and analysis tools, and analytical models that enable evidence-based measurement of outcomes tied to federal programs in these regions. The framework must support rigorous, transparent, and repeatable evaluation practices that reflect the unique economic, social, and geographic contexts of northern communities. This is a subcontract under NAICS code 541690, with responses due by September 1, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed in the three northern territories. The contracting authority is the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, operating under the Government of Canada, and the initiative emphasizes outcomes that inform policy and funding decisions with localized, data-driven insights. While no specific set-aside or point of contact is provided, the focus remains on building capacity for ongoing impact assessment and accountability in northern economic development efforts.
