FCC Risk Governance and Strategic Lending Advisory RFP

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is transitioning from a monoline lender to a multi-line, multi-segment organization and is focused on enhancing its operational maturity through improved governance and risk management frameworks. This shift, driven by FCC's 2022 strategy refresh aimed at better serving Canada’s agriculture, agri-food, and agribusiness sectors, has underscored the need for more sophisticated operational management processes. FCC is seeking advisory services to help align its operational practices with its risk appetite, optimize the lending process, and strengthen governance within its lending operations to support effective first-line risk management and strategy execution. The organization has issued a solicitation titled "FCC Risk Governance and Strategic Lending Advisory RFP" with the goal of procuring expert consultation and advisory services to assist in this transformation. The request for proposal (RFP) was posted on March 10, 2026, with responses due by March 25, 2026. This federal contract opportunity is managed by Farm Credit Canada under the Government of Canada, with procurement inquiries directed to the contracting authority, David Wark. Interested parties can access bidding documents through the Merx platform, noting that usage fees may apply. The initiative reflects FCC's commitment to operational excellence and strategic alignment within a broadened lending mandate.
