From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the Business Support Working Group reported recommended actions tied to emergency homelessness services and downtown business impacts. The report called for work with the Ontario Provincial Police, the County of Simcoe, The Lighthouse, and service providers on safety measures, possible relocation of services, transportation assistance, food distribution, warming and cooling centres, and rapid-deployment housing options. It also recommended dissolving the working group and carrying the work into the 2026-2030 term of council.
Decision state: recommended for ratification.

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 Orillia issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Orillia's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Orillia before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
