Approved Suppliers
Procurement Services, on behalf of the University of Toronto, establishes competitively procured agreements with suppliers of commonly used goods and services. Suppliers are selected from collaborative arrangements with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS), Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace (OECM), other agreements open to Broader Public Sector (BPS) organizations, or agreements resulting from a University of Toronto-led competitive procurement process. These arrangements result in “Approved Supplier” status, and as part of the Vendor of Record are available to departments across all three campuses.
The University community is strongly encouraged to purchase goods and services from Approved Suppliers.
