Rebate for Licence Plate Recycling Services

The Government of Ontario, through the agency of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, is soliciting a single legal entity to provide Licence Plate Recycling Services. The primary objective is the secure, compliant, and environmentally responsible recycling of approximately 600,000 lbs of Ontario licence plates. The contract is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2027, for an initial term of one year, with a possible one-year extension at the Ministry's discretion ending April 30, 2029. The service provider must ensure a strict chain of custody and utilize equipment that renders plates unrecoverable, while adhering to environmental legislation and industry standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or COR. The selection process is based on a cumulative score across three stages: mandatory requirements, technical evaluation, and pricing. Technical scoring is weighted toward the Building Ontario Businesses Initiative and proposed approach (83 points), capabilities (60 points), quality and compliance standards (20 points), and value-added services (10 points). Pricing is evaluated based on the Evaluated Annual Net Rebate, with the highest rebate receiving 100 points. Bidders must not be U.S. businesses as defined by the procurement and must provide a Tax Compliance Verification number. Additionally, the successful vendor must comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, provide proof of W.S.I.B. coverage, and implement an emergency evacuation plan that accommodates persons with disabilities.
