DESCRIPTION

The vendor will provide consulting services to develop a supply chain competitiveness strategy for a region in Alberta, Canada.

The anticipated work includes project start-up and methodology development; multi-sector supply chain, value chain, tariff exposure, and labour market assessment; agriculture and agri-food supply chain competitiveness analysis; occupational risk, workforce transition, and training alignment; agriculture-focused foreign direct investment strategic planning and analysis; and industry engagement and validation.
