Description

The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (“LGCA”) is issuing this request for proposals (“RFP”) as part of its ongoing research program. The purpose of the RFP is to solicit proposals from qualified research organizations (“candidates”) to administer a representative survey of adult Manitobans who have placed bets on sports in the past 12 months and to conduct a qualitative literature review of existing social responsibility initiatives related to sports betting (“project”).

The 10- to 15-minute survey will gather information on the prevalence of sports betting in Manitoba, as well as the betting behaviours, beliefs and lower-risk gambling strategies employed by Manitobans who have placed bets on sports within the past 12 months. The 8- to 10- page literature review will examine existing social responsibility initiatives and other forms of social marketing targeted towards lower-risk sports betting in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The resulting data from the survey and literature review will be used to inform the LGCA’s public education initiatives. Because of the complex and theoretical nature of the research topics, the successful candidate (“consultant”) will work closely with the LGCA to ensure the highest possible caliber of research. The consultant must complete the project by March 25, 2024.

Additional Bidding Instructions

Proposals must be structured in such a way that the cost of the entire proposal and the various components of that cost are clear. Proposals must include a total fixed cost for the entire project as well as a breakdown of proposed fees and expenses and a proposed payment schedule. If applicable, candidates must provide cost breakdowns for different options for sample size proposed in response to subsection 3.1. Applicants may also provide different pricing options or tiers for coding. If applicable, proposals may include other options to allow the flexibility to modify the research plan based on the project budget.

Any assumptions made in responding to the pricing requirements must be clearly identified. If no assumptions are stated, the pricing proposed by the candidate will be deemed to be without any assumptions or conditions attached to that pricing. All travel expenses and other expenses that may be required must be financed from within the total fixed cost for the project.

Candidates’ policies in relation to expense reimbursement and escalation provisions for fees and expenses must be clearly stated in their proposals.

All pricing must be in Canadian funds. A detailed cost breakdown must be provided, with Manitoba provincial sales tax (if applicable) shown separately. The LGCA is GST-exempt (R107863847).

All prices and costs must be guaranteed by the candidate for the ninety (90) days following the submission deadline and higher prices and costs cannot be negotiated in the event the candidate is advised LGCA desires to enter into contractual negotiations to implement the candidate’s research plan.

Information on pricing and costs must not be included with the rest of the project proposal. They must be submitted by email to finance@LGCamb.ca with the subject line: “Sports Betting Survey Compensation.” Compensation submissions will be reviewed after all project proposals are evaluated. Proposals that include information on pricing and costs within the rest of the project proposal will be disqualified.
