Village of Lytton Economic Development Strategy

The Village of Lytton is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms to develop a comprehensive five-year Economic Development Strategy spanning 2027 to 2032, with the goal of creating a plan that is uniquely tailored to the local context and deeply rooted in community input and inclusivity. The strategy must prioritize long-term economic growth and resilience by identifying and nurturing local assets, industries, and opportunities, while explicitly excluding tourism as a component. The consulting firm selected will be responsible for engaging diverse community stakeholders, conducting thorough local analysis, and delivering a practical, actionable roadmap supported by evidence-based recommendations. This effort is intended to foster sustainable economic outcomes that reflect the values and priorities of Lytton’s residents and businesses. The solicitation, identified as BC230133, was posted on June 1, 2026, with a deadline for responses set for June 12, 2026, at 8:30 PM Eastern Time. The contract falls under NAICS code 541618 for other management consulting services and is issued by the Village of Lytton, though it is categorized under the Government of Canada in the system. All submissions must be directed to the contracting authority, Cynthia Lamont, via email at clamont@lytton.ca. The process is open to qualified firms without any set-aside restrictions, and the selected consultant will be expected to deliver a strategy that aligns with the community’s vision for a self-sustaining and equitable local economy.
