Following the proposal submission deadline, CREA will evaluate submissions based on experience, technical capability, design approach, project understanding, pricing, and long-term support. Shortlisted proponents may be invited to participate in presentations or interviews before a preferred vendor is selected.
The successful proponent will work closely with CREA and the organization’s graphic designer to deliver a redesigned website that enhances the visitor experience while providing staff with modern tools to efficiently manage content and event information.
