TORONTO, Oct 5 /CNW/ - Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation ("OLG") announced today that it has released a Request for Pre-qualification ("RFPQ") for an opportunity to operate Casino Rama.
The RFPQ has been posted to the MERX Canadian Tenders website (www.MERX.ca\olg).
A subsequent Request for Proposal ("RFP") process is expected to begin in early 2011. This RFP will be open to those proponents who pre-qualified through the RFPQ process.
Pre-qualified proponents must be registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario ("AGCO") to operate a commercial casino in Ontario. The registration process includes filing a completed application with the AGCO and paying the required fees, prior to receiving the RFP. For more information on the AGCO licensing process, parties should contact the AGCO or refer to the AGCO website at www.agco.on.ca.
OLG has retained the services of HLT Advisory Inc. ("HLT"), of Toronto, to assist in conducting the RFPQ and RFP processes. HLT provides a wide range of advisory services to the Canadian and international hospitality, leisure and tourism industries.
OLG has also retained the services of PPI Consulting Limited ("PPI"), of Ottawa, to serve as the Fairness Monitor for both the RFPQ and RFP processes. The role of a Fairness Monitor is to ensure that the RFPQ and RFP processes are conducted with integrity and fairness. PPI has been offering management consultancy expertise on fair and ethical business practices for public sector partnering and procurement for over 20 years.
