Competitive tenders for goods and services valued at $100,000 or more are posted on Merx, the electronic tendering system used by the hospital. JBH may elect to post tenders publically for values less than $100,000 on a direct basis.

Timeline for posting Competitive Procurements

JBH provides a minimum response time of 15 calendar days for procurement of goods and services valued at $100,000 or more. Often additional response time is offered, particularly for procurements of high complexity, risk, and/or dollar value.

Health and Safety

Suppliers and contractors who provide labour and installation services to the Hospital require proof of Workplace Safety Insurance (WSIB) and a Certificate of Insurance that reflects the minimum level of insurance identified in the tender. Additional health and safety and/or infection control requirements may be needed dependent upon the nature of the services provided.
