Overview
Supply Ontario has established a new Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangement for Hazardous Waste Collection and Disposal Services.
The VOR arrangement, which will become effective on January 14, 2024, is for a term of six years, with no option for extensions. There will be an annual refresh when additional vendors may be added to the VOR. This VOR arrangement is mandatory for Ontario Public Service (OPS) ministries and agencies and is optionally available to non-OPS entities including municipalities, academic institutions, school boards, health care providers, and major transfer payment recipients.
The VOR arrangement will provide products, services, and personnel to collect, transport, store, and dispose of biomedical and hazardous waste from various facilities throughout Ontario. It includes seven qualified vendors over three service categories including one for liquid industrial waste.
Benefits
- This VOR arrangement saves time, effort, and money by providing fast and streamlined access to hazardous waste disposal services from multiple vendors with the necessary experience, qualifications, and infrastructure to support OPS requirements.
- The pre-qualified list of vendors can provide the necessary service throughout Ontario, providing choice to clients, while promoting competition through a second-stage selection process.
- This VOR ensures that hazardous waste collection and disposal services meet industry standards and are in full conformity with Ontario Public Service (OPS) requirements.
