Oxygen Cylinders Rental for Paramedic Services

York Region is soliciting bids for the supply and delivery of rental medical-grade oxygen cylinders, specifically size D and size M, to support York Region Paramedic Services stations. The selected supplier will be responsible for an initial one-time transition delivery to replace incumbent cylinders over a one-week period, followed by ongoing weekly deliveries and exchanges to maintain required inventory levels. All supplied oxygen must be medical-grade, Health Canada compliant, and CSA-approved, with cylinders featuring required Transportation of Dangerous Goods and WHMIS labeling. The supplier must also adhere to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act 1992 and provide monthly inventory and usage reports alongside consolidated monthly invoices. The contract will be awarded to the lowest priced compliant bidder following a three-stage evaluation process consisting of a completeness and compliance review, price evaluation, and final selection. Mandatory requirements include at least three years of experience supplying medical-grade oxygen to paramedic, hospital, or fire services, as well as maintaining valid WSIB clearance and specific insurance coverage. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Region's Bids and Tenders website by the specified deadline, as hard copy submissions will not be accepted. All quoted rates must be all-inclusive of equipment, labor, materials, and delivery costs.
