Indigenous Economic Participation Coordination

The contract titled Indigenous Economic Participation Coordination seeks to advance socio-economic goals by facilitating subcontracting, employment, and partnerships with members of the Algonquin Nation and their businesses. It is issued by the National Capital Commission, part of the Government of Canada, and falls under NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services. The opportunity is open to entities that can demonstrate a clear pathway to engaging Algonquin Nation stakeholders in meaningful economic activities within the National Capital Region. The contract does not specify a set-aside program but emphasizes inclusive participation as a core objective, aiming to strengthen Indigenous economic presence and capacity in federally supported initiatives. Responses were due by February 17, 2023, and the work is expected to be performed across the National Capital Region. While no point of contact or physical office address is provided, the opportunity is publicly accessible through Canada Buys, the official government procurement platform. The contract is structured as a subcontract and does not include details on funding levels or duration, suggesting it may serve as a framework or coordination mechanism rather than a direct service delivery agreement. The emphasis remains on fostering long-term economic relationships with the Algonquin Nation to align federal projects with Indigenous economic development priorities.
