From the meeting
At its July 28, 2026 meeting, council approved bringing the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre restaurant and concession operation in-house. The city funded $130,000 from the Parks and Recreation Facilities Reserve to buy restaurant equipment and also approved staffing changes for food and beverage roles starting September 2026. This is a useful lead for food service equipment, setup, and operational support.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Brantford issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Brantford's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
