Bid Opportunities

The City of Burlington is committed to fair and transparent procurement practices to get the best value for our taxpayers.

bids and tenders

We use bids&tenders for digital procurement management and all construction-related bidding. This tool allows bidders to receive notice of bid opportunities and to submit bids and proposals to the City electronically.

  • Built-in calculator to avoid mathematical errors
  • Compliance checker
  • Reminder notification if a bid has been started but not submitted

You can create an account for either an unlimited annual subscription or a one-time bid opportunity. The unlimited subscription has an annual fee and includes access to all agencies using the program across Canada. For those who choose not to subscribe, there is a one-time fee per bid opportunity.

Departmental authority

All City departments have delegated authority to administer their own procurement of goods and services under $50,000. The engineering department has delegated authority to administer quotes and tenders for construction projects over $50,000.

Green procurement

The City also has a Green Procurement Policy and has incorporated green procurement principles into its procurement practices, including:

  • Making bulk purchases where possible to reduce packaging.
  • Installing lighting retrofits at City facilities to improve energy efficiency
  • Reusing concrete and asphalt for road work.
  • Using recycled oil in vehicles.
  • Upgrading the former print shop to the Digital Copy Centre which minimizes the use of chemicals
  • Using environmentally-friendly cleaning products in City facilities

We have also developed a Green Procurement Checklist and Green Procurement Guidelines to help City staff align with our green principles.

Green Procurement Checklist

Project Description

This checklist is meant to be a quick reference to assist staff when proceeding with a purchase of a good or service (including payment cards, invoices, etc.) on behalf of the City of Burlington.

For additional information on how to implement the Green Procurement Policy, staff should refer to the Green Procurement Guideline.  The guideline provides more detailed information on green procurement terms, environmental certification programs, department roles and responsibilities, and tips to avoid greenwashing.

 

General Life Cycle Considerations When Purchasing Goods Or Services
Confirm the Need to Buy

In order to confirm the need to buy, ensure that:

  • The good/service is necessary and other options for meeting the need have been explored. For example, is there a comparable good available internally?
  • The good cannot be shared between offices/departments, borrowed from another office/department or rented on a short term basis.
  • quantity of the service or good is appropriate, required, and sure to be utilized.
  • Can the good or service be consolidated with other similar projects?
  • All elements and features of the good or service are necessary.
  • The good or service will be required until the end of its useful life. If not, can the good be easily reallocated to another municipal use or donated to an appropriate community group or agency?  For reallocation or donation Purchasing Services will need your Manager’s approval and if the value of the good or service is over $50,000, your Director’s approval will be required.  
Environmental Attributes 

Ensure that wherever possible, goods procured by the City of Burlington have as many as possible of the following environmental attributes:

The good has a recognized environmentally related certification or label from an independent third party organization (e.g. ENERGY STAR®, Green SealTM, EcoLogoTM)

  • The good is free from or has minimal hazardous ingredients and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Consult the good’s MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for more information.
  • The good is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified
  • The good can be reused or recycled using an existing collection program or technology
  • The good minimizes waste
  • The good is made of recycled content
  • The good is energy efficient and has achieved ENERGY STAR certification
  • The operation and maintenance required for the good is not environmentally damaging
  • The good minimizes emissions where possible
  • The good is designed to reduce consumption (i.e. rechargeable batteries; has a longer lifecycle, etc.)                                                    
Packaging 

Consider the good’s packaging as part of the purchasing process to comply with the City of Burlington’s waste reduction objectives:

  • There is minimal packaging
  • The good is packaged in bulk, where feasible
  • The good packaging is made of recycled content and is accepted in the Region’s existing recycling program, where possible
  • If the packaging material cannot be recycled or reused, the vendor should be requested to take it back
  • Avoid styrofoam packaging where possible
  • Consider the most environmentally friendly packaging available when evaluating goods
  • In the purchasing process bidders should be made aware that the City will give due consideration  to reduced packaging to minimize waste
Good Disposal   

Consider the end of the good’s life cycle at the time of purchase:

  • The good can be reused or refurbished for further use (e.g. furniture)
  • How easily the good can be re-sold or re-allocated
  • The vendor will take the good back at the end of its lifecycle and re-use parts where possible or dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.  Check to see if there is an additional cost.
  • Recycled materials are used to make replacement parts, where available

Co-operative procurements

The City may participate in co-operative procurements with various buying groups. These include, but are not limited to:

  • The Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace (OECM)
  • The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS)
  • The Halton Co-Operative Purchasing Group (HCPG)
  • The Association of Municipalities of Ontario's (AMO)
  • Local Authority Services (LAS)
  • Metrolinx
  • Other municipal and public sector partners
