This Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued by the Baie Verte Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Baie Verte Mining Innovation Task Force, to solicit proposals from qualified consultants to assist in better positioning our region for economic success for years to come. The Baie Verte Mining Innovation Task Force was established in 2023 in response to the regional economic downturn resulting from several mine closures and in recognition of new economic development opportunities with significant gaps that are current in the local area. The Task Force represents community, business, industry, government, education, and other sectors. The Task Force provides a platform to develop a strategic approach across public and private stakeholders to maximize socioeconomic development and capacity building to align with the needs of the represented groups. The Baie Verte Mining District has a multi-generational history of mining, including the economic volatility of “boom & bust” cycles. Despite this, the community has enormous potential for growth in various sectors. The consultant will work closely with the community to identify strengths, address weaknesses, explore opportunities, and mitigate threats to ensure sustainable economic development. Submissions to this request must be made no later than Sept 27th, 2024.
