An EOI should be brief. It will include an opening paragraph describing the bidder and why the bidder should be considered for this project. Bidders should describe why they qualify for this work.  \nThe Agency reserves the right to conduct a bidder pre-qualification process following the receipt of expressions of interest.  \n1. Introduction  \nBackground on the Agency  \nThe Agency for Co-operative Housing is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization created to provide program-management services to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and other government clients. Under a service agreement with CMHC, the Agency administers federal co-operative housing programs in Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and rent supplement programs in PEI and Ontario.  \nIn addition to its direct client-focused work, the Agency collaborates closely with federations, national and regional, that represent housing co-operatives, and with the management organizations that serve them.  \nThe Agency has developed a fee-for-service program called Annual Health Check to enable clients with expired CMHC agreements to obtain plain-language reports on their operating performance.  \nThe Agency is a founder-member of the Community Housing Transformation Centre, a recently established organization funded by CMHC to lead innovative change in Canadian community housing. As part ofits National Housing Strategy (NHS) CMHC wishes to see transformation within the community housing sector and has funded the Transformation Centre for this purpose.  \nThe Agency’s Information System  \nThe Agency’s co-operative housing clients file financial and other data via an on-line portal using a standardized annual information return (AIR) . The Agency’s webbased custom information system collects this client data, which it tests, analyses and combines in various ways. Clients receive back the results of the information system’s analyses in plain-language reports that help them understand the many aspects of their operations and their financial success or risk of running into difficulty.  \nThe information system also permits comparative analysis: the performance of a coop or group of co-ops can be compared to the performance of other cohort groups. In this way the Agency is able to provide clients with information on their operating performance relative to that of other Agency co-op clients.  \nExisting Benchmarking and Best Practices Service  \nBuilding on the objective of comparative performance, the Agency offers a limited benchmarking and best practices service which is provided though a separate web portal that links to its information system. This service is branded as HomeRun. HomeRun was developed as a pilot project, separate from the Agency’s contract and funding from CMHC.  \nA co-op that is an Agency client can use the HomeRun website to compare its performance against different peer groups, learn and benefit from other co-ops’experiences and good practices, share successes and how they were achieved, and use benchmarking data in reports to boards of directors, staff and co-op residents generally. The Agency has taken the step of developing videos as an accessible way to share best practices.  \nThrough HomeRun, client co-operatives can measure their performance and compare it to those of their peers under four broad categories:  \n• Managing the property  \n• Managing expenses  \n• Financial ratios  \n• Managing revenue","cbCaimOBbuWRl3oX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimOBbuWRl3oX","pdf",642818,32,"English","# Introduction\n## Background on the Agency\n## The Agency’s Information System\n## Existing Benchmarking and Best Practices Service\n# Purpose of this Request for Proposals\n## Start Date and Duration of Service\n# Project Background","[{\"question\":\"What feasibility study does the RFP require?\",\"answer\":\"The feasibility study must examine the potential for offering a benchmarking and best-practices service to community housing providers and assess likely uptake and engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"Who can submit proposals and what must they demonstrate?\",\"answer\":\"Organizations with research capacity are invited, including the ability to research a target market and explain why they qualify through a brief Expression of Interest.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the closing date and what is the submission process?\",\"answer\":\"Proposals must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. EDT on 23 October 2020.
