Supply Ontario is excited to support increased safety for Ontario students by coordinating the $30 million procurement of vape detectors and other security upgrades for schools across the province.
To support the Ontario government’s province-wide plan to reduce distractions in classrooms and improve the health of children, including mandatory learning about the adverse effects of vaping and banning vaping in schools, Supply Ontario has established a multi-vendor Vendor of Record (VOR) Arrangement for Vape Detector and Building Safety Provisions. This VOR arrangement can be used by school boards and other Ontario public sector entities to access critical safety infrastructure.
In response to privacy concerns that are associated with some models of vape detectors raised by the Ministry of Education, this VOR arrangement ensures that the procured vape detectors do not have the functionality to record audio or video or listen for key words.
