Provision of Snow Removal and Landscaping Services for Peel Region's Long Term Care Homes

The Region of Peel is seeking up to three qualified vendors to provide comprehensive snow removal and landscaping services for its Long Term Care Homes, divided into three geographic zones. The scope of work includes spring, summer, and fall grounds maintenance, such as pest control, shrub trimming, and fall clean-up, as well as critical winter maintenance. Because these facilities operate 24/7/365 as essential person-centred care sites, vendors must prioritize these locations over other contracts to ensure emergency vehicle and staff access is maintained at all times, particularly during shift changes. The procurement process is conducted via electronic submission through the Agency's bidding portal, with a deadline of October 26, 2026. Evaluation is based on price, bidder qualifications, past performance, and litigation history, with the Agency reserving the right to conduct site visits. Successful bidders must provide a Renewable Performance Bond, maintain WSIB coverage, and hold valid Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration and MTO Annual Safety Inspections for all vehicles. Additionally, vendors are required to adopt the Smart About Salt program and adhere to strict confidentiality and privacy legislation regarding personal health information.
