Procurement Update
(Mar 3 2014)

TORONTO, ON – The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is providing two separate procurement notifications today.

The first is the Request for Information (RFI) for a potential privately-funded multi-purpose event centre in Niagara Falls closed today.

The RFI was launched on December 12, 2013. The RFI submissions OLG has received will help it gauge interest in the marketplace for developing and financing a potential Niagara Entertainment Centre that is similar to, or larger in size and scale than facilities at Caesars Windsor and Casino Rama.

The second notification is that OLG is extending the closing date for the Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) for the GTA Gaming Bundle to May 8, 2014. OLG will issue an addendum to the RFPQ on the procurement website MERXTM in the coming weeks, which will provide further details.

In order to protect the integrity of the procurement process, OLG will not provide further details about the addendum until it is posted on MERXTM and available to all proponents at the same time.

RFPQs for the West GTA and Central Gaming Bundles will close as scheduled on March 13, 2014.
