Notice of Intention to use Kinetic GPO

The Corporation of the City of Nelson is authorized to utilize Kinetic GPO cooperative contracts from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, to source goods and services through a streamlined procurement process designed for Broader Public Sector and MASH entities across Canada. This cooperative arrangement leverages collective purchasing power to reduce costs and simplify administrative steps, enabling member organizations to achieve greater efficiency and savings without conducting individual tenders. The notice of intention to use this contract is identified by solicitation number BC229972 and was posted on May 27, 2026, with the response deadline aligning with the end of the contract period on April 30, 2027. Participation is limited to eligible members of Kinetic GPO, and the contract is administered under the Broader Public Sector framework, though the posting incorrectly lists the organization type as FEDERAL and references the Government of Canada in error. The primary point of contact for procurement inquiries is the City of Nelson’s purchasing department, reachable via purchasing@nelson.ca. Further details on the Kinetic GPO contracting process are available on their official website.
