Refresh - Supply and Delivery of Boats, Motors and Trailers

Supply Ontario is establishing a Vendor of Record arrangement for the supply and delivery of boats, motors, and trailers to support Ontario Public Sector ministries, including those operating in remote and northern regions. The procurement is divided into three separate categories—boats, motors, and trailers—and the agency may award each category to multiple legal entities. Qualified vendors must demonstrate the ability to meet Transport Canada construction standards for small vessels (TP 1332 E) and provide a robust network of authorized service centers across Ontario, with specific emphasis on presence in Northern Ontario. Bidders are also required to provide details on their quality assurance programs, ISO certifications, and their capacity to handle delivery logistics and post-sale support. The evaluation process consists of two stages: an initial review of mandatory requirements and a technical evaluation where bidders must achieve a minimum score of 60 points to proceed to the award stage. Preference is given to vendors with manufacturing or distribution facilities located within Ontario or Canada. Submissions must be made through the Ontario Tenders Portal by November 26, 2026. Successful vendors must comply with strict regulatory requirements, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, and specific insurance and WSIB coverage mandates. Bidders must submit separate bids for each category they wish to pursue and provide a Canadian-based point of contact.
