Supply and Delivery of Appliances

The Halton District School Board (HDSB) issued solicitation RFT 27-005 to identify qualified suppliers for the supply and delivery of appliances to various schools and administrative sites. The contract is for an initial one-year term starting approximately January 1, 2027, with the option for the HDSB to renew for up to four additional one-year terms, potentially extending the agreement through December 31, 2031. Award decisions will be based on the best value for money and quality of service delivery rather than the lowest price alone, with evaluation factors including price, past performance, financial resources, industry knowledge, and the possession of necessary licenses and certifications. Suppliers must provide appliances that meet specific technical standards, including Energy Star ratings and CSA or ULC certification for electrical products configured for 240V @ 60Hz. Delivery is required on a Duty Paid (DDP) basis, with the supplier providing all necessary manual labor and equipment to deliver items directly to the designated rooms within HDSB facilities. Mandatory requirements include the provision of a dedicated account representative, adherence to WHMIS and other regulatory labeling laws, and the submission of liability and WSIB insurance documentation. Proposals must be submitted electronically by October 27, 2026, and must include a Form of Tender, a separate Excel bid sheet, and several signed declarations and attestations.
