From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting, the board considered the Virtual Framework, the last deliverable in phase 6 of the Service Delivery Framework. The framework set principles for virtual services and said staff would apply a decision matrix to build a Virtual Service Prioritization List and feed it into the Technology Roadmap. Approval would not buy a specific platform, but it clearly points to future digital service, accessibility, cybersecurity, privacy, and platform decisions.
That makes this a strong pre-RFP signal for virtual service tools and planning.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ottawa's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
