Investment Attraction Matrix Development

The County of Lambton, in collaboration with the Government of Canada, is seeking a subcontractor to design a decision-support matrix aimed at evaluating and prioritizing potential defence investors. The matrix must assess candidates based on three core criteria: strategic fit with national defence priorities, alignment with existing and emerging defence technologies, and the potential regional economic and industrial impact. The evaluation framework is intended to guide investment attraction efforts by providing a structured, objective methodology to rank opportunities and inform targeted engagement strategies with investors who offer the highest value to both defence capabilities and local development goals. The solicitation is open for bids until July 24, 2026, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 541611, indicating the work falls under management, scientific, and technical consulting services. The tender is posted on the Lambton County bids and tenders portal, and interested parties are expected to submit proposals that demonstrate expertise in developing analytical tools for public sector decision-making, particularly within the defence and security domain.
