Procurement Policies & Practices
Procurement Policies
- The Ontario government has signed two interprovincial agreements covering procurement:
the Trade and Cooperation Agreement Between Ontario and Quebec, and the
Agreement on Internal Trade. These agreements require that contracts valued at $25,000 or
more for goods and at $100,000 or more for services and construction, be openly advertised.
- An electronic tendering system is the preferred medium for advertising procurement of
goods and services.
- Vendors must not have any conflict of interest that may give them an unfair advantage in bidding on government procurement opportunities.
- Ontario government does not apply any preference for local vendors.
- For construction tenders with an estimated value of $100,000 or more, we apply a 10%
price preference for Canadian structural steel products identified in bids. During the
evaluation process, we will deduct 10% of the value of Canadian structural steel products
identified in your bid from your total bid price. A description of how the Canadian steel
preference is applied is included in all tender documents for construction projects with an
estimated value of $100,000 or more.
To take advantage of the Canadian Steel Preference policy, vendors must properly and
truthfully complete the “Statement of Canadian Steel Content” included in tender
documents for construction projects with an estimated value of $100,000 or more.
- The Ontario government also supports the federal Environmental Choice Program
guidelines as well as other environmental strategies for reduction, reuse and recycling.
Environmental factors are given consideration in procurement decisions for all contracts
worth more than $10,000.
