The City of Toronto’s Parks and Recreation Division is seeking qualified organizations to participate in an upcoming Negotiated Request for Proposals (nRFP) for Allan A. Lamport Stadium, a 9,600-seat, multi-purpose venue located in Liberty Village. Significant investment is required to restore it to a state of good repair and unlock its full potential as a leading community and professional sports destination.
This opportunity calls for an organization capable of delivering a minimum of $6 million in capital improvements while activating the site primarily from April through October, annually. The selected Licensee will benefit from priority scheduling, defined exclusive-use areas, and the ability to generate revenue through events, ticketing, concessions, sponsorship, and other commercial activities, while the City retains core operational oversight and ensures continued public access during public hours, to be negotiated.
Proponents should review the negotiated Request for Proposal document for more details available in the Toronto Bids Portal
Prospective Suppliers should register in SAP Ariba.
If your development will require temporary access over, under, or abutting a specific section of City Parkland, email parkbusiness@toronto.ca with basic information about your needs.
The City of Toronto usually purchases goods and services through open, competitive opportunities, but in limited cases it may review innovative ideas submitted directly by suppliers. The City’s Unsolicited Proposals Policy explains when these submissions may be considered, what information is required and how they are reviewed before any procurement activity can proceed. Suppliers are encouraged to review the policy to understand whether their idea may be appropriate for an unsolicited proposal.
