REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: MOBILE AND INTERNET SERVICES

The City of Fredericton is seeking input from service providers through a Request for Information titled RFI26-03 to evaluate the current market for mobile cellular and business internet services, as well as associated support capabilities. With multiple existing agreements nearing expiration and a geographically dispersed operational environment that depends on these services for mission-critical, public-facing, and emergency response functions, the municipality aims to understand the landscape of available providers, prevailing market practices around bundling or separating services, and opportunities to enhance value, resilience, and operational effectiveness. The goal is to inform a future procurement strategy that remains competitive, flexible, and inclusive of diverse service delivery models to ensure uninterrupted service during high-demand or crisis situations. Responses are required by May 25, 2026, and the RFI is open to all qualified vendors without set-aside restrictions. The procurement is led by Dale Curtis, Contracting Authority, who can be contacted via email or phone for inquiries. The place of performance is designated as New Brunswick, and the information gathered will support the development of a comprehensive, future-ready contract structure that addresses the city’s complex needs across its infrastructure and services. No formal contract is being issued at this stage; the focus is purely on market research to shape future procurement decisions.
