Description

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

Ottawa Public Library Board Strategic Planning – Public Engagement and Consultation

Request for Proposal No. 01417-95816-P01

In March 2016, the Ottawa Public Library Board (OPLB) approved a revised Board Policy (OPLB-010 OPL Board Evaluations and Governance Reviews), which included a requirement to complete a self-evaluation of the Board’s performance at the beginning of the second and fourth years of each term of office. As a result of this requirement, the Board has now provided direction to modify or expand their involvement in strategic planning workshops and/or use generative governance discussions to explore the future of libraries and how this could impact the OPL.

Working with a Board Ad-Hoc Committee, staff has developed a process to enhance the OPL Board’s involvement in strategic planning via the application of generative governance. The process will be carried out over five (5) phases from May 2017 through October 2018, resulting in Strategic Directions and Priorities for the 2019 – 2022 term of the Board.   The phases are:

Environmental Scan
Internal Stakeholder Consultation
Community Engagement
Development of options / paths for the future
Recommendations Report

Stakeholder input is key to the development of the Strategic Plan. The OPLB, management, employees, and the public all have a vested interest in the future of their public library.

The Procurement of goods and/or services specified in this bid document may be subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) and/or the Ontario-Quebec Procurement Agreement (OQPA).
All information submitted in response to this RFP is subject to the provisions of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
