Office and Classroom Products, Print and Copy Paper and Laser Toners (Refresh)

This contract is an annual refresh Request for Bids (RFB) for a Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangement managed by Supply Ontario under the Government of Canada, focusing on the provision of Office and Classroom Products, Print and Copy Paper, and Laser Toners. Effective from June 21, 2025, the refresh introduces a new category, Classroom Supplies, alongside three existing categories: Office Products, Print and Copy Paper, and Laser Toners. The RFB is split into these four categories, with multiple vendors selected for Office Products, Print and Copy Paper, and Laser Toners, while a single vendor will be awarded the Classroom Supplies category. Each category includes a core list of commonly purchased products, plus access to vendors’ full catalogues within the relevant product areas. The refresh process stipulates that existing vendors are not permitted to rebid on categories they currently hold, ensuring continuity of service for those categories irrespective of the refresh outcomes. However, all vendors, new and existing, must participate in the bidding process for the newly added Classroom Supplies category, submitting detailed Qualification, Technical, and Commercial proposals. The solicitation was posted on May 11, 2026, with a bid submission deadline of June 3, 2026. Helen Georgiou serves as the Contracting Authority and point of contact for this procurement. The initiative is designed to ensure competitive vendor participation while maintaining reliable access to essential office and classroom products and related supplies for government operations.
