Strategic Sourcing News

On April 1, 2010, ORC launched a new electronic supply chain management tool – E-sourcing – which is designed to optimize the procurement process and enhance supply chain management.  Based on feedback from our vendors to date, we have decided to suspend the E-sourcing system in order to refine and enhance the system.  Thank you to those vendors who took the time to register with ORC E-Sourcing.

Current bid opportunities are listed at http://www.ontariorealty.ca/Doing-Business-With-Us/Strategic-Sourcing----Bid-Opportunities.htm. ORC also posts opportunities regularly on MERX and Biddingo. 

For any questions about ORC bid opportunities, please contact the Strategic Sourcing Coordinator as listed in the advertisement.

ORC launches new online prequalification process

July 2009 - ORC is pleased to present new streamlined, online prequalification forms to manage its Vendors of Record (VORs). Suppliers can now access and complete the newly released pre-qualification form online at www.biddingo.com/orc. ORC evaluates the submissions and uses the VOR database to invite qualified suppliers to bid on opportunities. ORC recognizes the value of partnering with Biddingo.com in providing this valuable tool to make the pre-qualification process fast and simple with a user-friendly, step-by-step process for contractors, consultants and other suppliers of goods and services.

ORC's replacement of paper-based forms will assist vendors in gathering and entering their information into a centralized database and it allows the ORC to more easily identify and determine a vendor’s capacity, experience, and competence. Biddingo.com’s engine allows for an environmentally friendly, paperless process that automatically notifies suppliers of ORC bid opportunities - a seamless and simplified process from start to finish.
