Description
FedDev Ontario may request a complete team, a partial team, or a single resource in order to
provide the required Evaluation and Performance Measurement Services. The Contractor and
their proposed resource(s) must work with FedDev Ontario staff identified by Evaluation
Directorate (ED) to carry out evaluation and performance measurement work, transfer knowledge
and/or job shadow for training purposes. In addition to delivery of the projects on the Evaluation
Plan, the Contractor may be called upon, on an ad-hoc basis, to assist ED with development,
validation of evaluation or performance measurement methodologies to meet the requirements of
the Treasury Board Policy on Results.
Since FedDev Ontario was established in 2009 in response to economic downturn, the Agency
has been delivering programs to contribute to strengthening southern Ontario's economic
capacity for innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration, and to promote the development of a
strong and diversified southern Ontario economy.To achieve its mandate, FedDev Ontario delivers three core transfer payment programs designed
to address specific opportunities and challenges facing the region such as Regional Economic
Growth through Innovation (REGI) Program, Southern Ontario Prosperity Program (SOPP) and
the Community Futures Program (CFP). FedDev Ontario, like other regional development
agencies (RDAs) across the country, also plays an important role as a federal delivery agent for
national programs in southern Ontario.
Evaluation Function
The purpose of the evaluation function is to ensure that the FedDev Ontario has a comprehensive
and reliable base of evidence to support policy and program improvement, expenditure
management, management and Cabinet decision making and public reporting.
Evaluation is the systematic collection and analysis of evidence on the outcomes of programs to
make judgments about their relevance, performance and alternative ways of delivering the same
results. It provides an evidence-based, neutral assessment of the value for money of FedDev
Ontario programs. In doing so, evaluation supports accountability to Parliament and Canadians
by helping FedDev Ontario report on results achieved with resources invested. It informs
government decisions on resource allocation and reallocation by supporting strategic reviews and
providing objective information on potential synergies and avoidance of duplication. In addition,
evaluation supports the President in managing for results, and supports managers in making
policy and program improvements.
Published in 2005 by Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), the discussion paper entitled
Decision-Making in Government: The Role of Program Evaluation provides a good overview of
the role of evaluation in the federal government (http:www.tbssct.gc.ca/eval/tools_outils/Aucoin/Aucoin e.asp).
The document also identified some important principles for evaluation within the government.
They are:
1. Recognizing program evaluation as a core function of public management
2. Embedding program evaluation in the decision-making process
3. Linking program evaluation to budgeting and expenditure management
4. Securing independence for program evaluation
5. Enhancing quality in program evaluation
Contract duration
The estimated contract period will be 9 month(s), with a proposed start date of 2024/06/03.
